Pieces of Me - Inside Zalando
Navigating the Future of the Workplace.
Christoph Gädeke, Senior Manager of Culture and New Work at Zalando, joins Janine Matos to explore the future of work and evolving workplace culture.
First up, Christoph shares insights into the complexities and benefits of hybrid work models, emphasising the importance of flexibility in today’s workplace. He explains the impact of the pandemic in reshaping work culture, highlighting the need for organisations to continually adapt to help foster colleague engagement.
Janine and Christoph then dive into the significance of cultural cohesion in a hybrid environment, the obstacles to that cohesion, and why companies have to embrace a learning mindset.
The episode also delves into the role of experimentation in shaping new work practices and how organisations can support their teams in navigating change.
Christoph’s three “Pieces of Me” include a symbol of childhood rebellion, a piece to represent the world of work in 2025, and an old-school throwback in an era of AI.
