Podcast: Collaboration in the Home Office – Jens’ Tips for the Perfect Setup

Podcast Collaboration in the home office together with Workwise.

Home office or office? It comes down to personal preference – but most employees want at least the option to work from home. In the podcast, Jens shares his tips on how healthy and productive collaboration is also possible in the home office.

No home office? No me!

The debate around mandatory office presence continues to shape the world of work – but employees and candidates have a clear stance: home office is not a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have.

According to podcast guest Jens from onyo, 40% of employees would even accept salary cuts in exchange for flexible work from home.

So how can productivity, team spirit and health in the home office be ensured?

👉 With the right setup – organizational, technical and human – productive remote and hybrid work absolutely works. As co-founder of onyo, the digital solution for Home-Office-as-a-Service, Jens knows exactly what matters.
