Secure jobs despite the crisis: VUCA trends in the new world of work

The crises of recent years, above all Corona, have radically Problems one that is changing ever faster Working world shown - and made many changes possible.

Review: What impact do crises like Corona have on individual professions?

In Germany, it was long considered desirable to have a job that was as secure as possible. But the crises of recent years, especially Corona, have clear shown how many problems there are in German work life really gave. The so-called structure-maintaining, system-relevant professions such as auxiliary services (fire brigade, postal services, transport companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, rescue services, police) as well as, for example, trade in basic supplies were of course secured and kept "operation" upright. There were rarely any really safe jobs.

The direct service providers such as hairdressers and restaurants, for example, had a particularly difficult time because they remained closed during the lockdowns. Those who worked in primary care had more to do than before Corona. The hamster purchases were not entirely uninvolved in this at the beginning. As the Shops, which went beyond the basic needs, such as shoe and clothing stores, were still closed, a real boom broke out in the Online trade off. The post office even had to hire additional staff.

The medical field struggled with the skills shortage and the Measures to fight. The care area for the elderly People was particularly badly hit. Ultimately, however, only neighborhood help, online platforms, forums and the homepages of the municipalities helped. This worked very well in Germany in particular. Many people got involved because they were forced into inaction to help others. They carried out, often on a voluntary basis, driving and errand services, shopping as well as child and elderly care services.

The aviation industry was hit the hardest, as was the tourism industry. Some airlines narrowly avoided closure. Thousands of people were laid off anyway. There are some support programs from the state, with the Federal Employment Agency and the job center helping. Because the aviation industry is not so fast will recover, it is for the Employees this Industry advisable to take care of new possible uses yourself. Many people have the crisis alongside their professional ones Reorientation also used to recharge your batteries for the new challenge.

Short-time work or unemployment

What happened to the apprentices and what is the situation now? Depending on the industry, the apprentices were sent on short-time work or entirely at home. All contracts remained. In the meantime, companies have had to dismiss employees, but still accept apprentices. Sounds paradoxical, doesn't it? This is due to the fact that an apprentice costs less than a long-term employee. Sounds very, very hard, but it is true. Companys have to calculate. Family businesses can hardly afford apprentices in this situation.

The majority of apprentices are sought in industry and wholesale. However, it must be said that industrial apprentices are tomorrow's specialists that are so urgently needed. But also Boy People have seen that not everything is always "fun" and that they also have to try harder to get ahead. It is particularly important for young people to be clear about what they are really good at and what suits them. Someone who has two "left hands" is for sure not good as a carpenter. In the Internet Browsing through careers fairs, industry sites, or the largest companies in the industry is sure to be a good way for a prospective apprentice to find out.

Were there any people who had a bomb-proof job?

The health professions were certainly the most important at that time. Those who have already worked from home also had it easier. But only if it was a service or something that people needed anyway. After Corona there will certainly be more home office options. In 2000, working from home was put on better legal footing. Above all Mothers had made use of this opportunity. Many Women find it difficult to return to their old job after the birth of the children.

Most of the time it is “love Money” or the lack of suitable childcare places to blame. Corona has opened up new opportunities for many women, who have also used them. It always depends on the respective situation and industry. A secure job despite the crisis is always one that can be arranged flexibly. In order for something to move and develop further, everyone has to roll up their sleeves and do something themselves. The best way to do this is to look for something new based on the tried and tested.

How secure is the office?

The question of whether sick ins Office going or not has always mattered. But many people couldn't afford to ask this question because otherwise the job would have been history. In times of saving at the wrong end, more and more employees were rationalized away as soon as they fell ill. Of course, people then went to the office when they were sick.

Only that was real useful? Of course not, because then everyone else will be infected. In recent years, at least some companies have rethink happened. Diseases and infections in the office they also harm the company. Productivity suffers enormously.

“Made in Germany” is back in fashion

“Made in Germany” is on the rise again, especially after the Corona crisis. The crisis has also clearly shown that it was a big mistake to exchange German skilled workers and foreign skilled workers who have worked in Germany for decades for cheap labor from far away abroad, because the missing supply chains have revealed some disadvantages.

Almost all professions that also use offices were able to transfer at least part of their work to the home office and were therefore on the safe side. Nevertheless, a lot still has to change in terms of digitization. The crises of the last few years have clearly shown that numerous employees all over Germany, but also in the rest of Europe, have not been happy with their job for a long time. And are now increasingly in the process of shaping their own destiny Hand to take.
