The future work concept for Telekom

ophelis was commissioned by the leading German telecommunication company Telekom to implement their new working environment (future work concept).

This is a forward-looking Open Space concept, which is to be implemented throughout the Group over the next few years. Telekom's future work concept offers various zones for temporary, communicative or individual working - for formal or informal collaboration with others as well as for concentrated individual work.

At the Future Work concept, Telekom AG is using five modules: open working environments, mobile working, desk-sharing, activity-based-working and result-oriented leadership.

The focus is on activity-based-working: Every employee is looking for the working environment according to his or her activity. This increases the flexibility in working hours.

Here the example of the location in Frankfurt:
All areas are equipped with ophelis products. The workstations were realized with motor-driven sitting/standing tables for ergonomic work (CN series). In addition to this concept of desk-sharing solutions, space-based solutions were designed to meet the needs of the Telekom, as well as measures for good acoustical room climate (paravento). ophelis docks in different colors and configurations were used in the intermediate zones, think tanks and meeting points.
The office serves the exchange, the communication and must provide home. Within the concept, color concepts and differentiation features for the individual areas were fixed together with the team.

During the implementation of the new concept, employees are taken on a journey into a new working culture and integrated in the context of change management.
