In the current situation, the direction for 2025 is similar and clear for many companies: no major investments, no new hires and perhaps even staff cuts. Such measures are taken in exceptional situations, in crisis mode. But even if companies are not in crisis mode, it is worth questioning processes and models and considering what can be made more efficient or even omitted altogether.
What opportunities does hybrid work offer in crisis mode?
New work and hybrid work have become an integral part of the working world. The current crisis mode of many organizations brings with it completely new challenges. How can we shape hybrid work in crisis mode? What opportunities does the crisis offer for internal organizational structures? We have summarized ten trends for 2025 in our new white paper, which is available to download for free in our newsletter.

SHARING IS CARING
Coworking spaces instead of mini-offices
A major infrastructure issue is and remains the use of offices. In this area, the investment is often disproportionate to the benefits.
If you want to afford your own office, you have to dig deeper and deeper into your pockets. New office and collaboration concepts are needed here, as both cost savings and sustainability speak in favor of this. However, this requires investment in a sensible hybrid work concept that supports employees in using the new infrastructure.
VIRTUAL & AUGMENTED REALITY
Next level VR and AR
One digitalization trend that will probably always be overshadowed by AI is VR and AR. Nevertheless, very exciting use cases can be observed in the HR sector and interesting research projects on virtual and augmented reality are also underway.
For example, VR training provider Lumium is researching what information about team performance can be derived from the behavior of training participants in the VR game. A clear lever for optimizing communication and collaboration.
