Overview
The digital transformation also has an impact on community work. Here the COVID-19 crisis made the home office hopeful. So far, there are hardly any studies on the home office in public administrations. Previous research on the home office focuses on solo workers and examines their physical-spatial, digital-technological and psychological-emotional needs and situation. Little research has also been done into the current situation of double earners, with which the home office becomes a multi-person office in which co-working and shared workspaces enable new interactions and exchange, but which also shows new opportunities as well as weaknesses that have social relevance. The project rethinking, switching, redesigning is a preliminary project,that generates new insights into this 'modern' home office and examines its requirements and possibilities for local government. Data is collected from several central areas of community life: the working population in the community and, where possible, local SMEs and the younger generation who live in the community and study at HSLU. The project is carried out jointly by D&K and T&A and has the Emmen municipal administration and the Emmen trade association as partners. The preliminary project serves the development of a third-party funding input. The aim is an Innosuisse project. from local SMEs as well as from the younger generation who live in the community and study at the HSLU.The project is carried out jointly by D&K and T&A and has the Emmen municipal administration and the Emmen trade association as partners.
