Even before finishing his dissertation he was offered the position of team leader for the accountancy department due to his convincing qualities such as commitment, competence and humour. Mirko Bratze is an enrichment for the team. Colleagues, clients, employees and the executives value the cooperative work.

You need a culture who is encouraging you to do your best by harmonizing your interests with the needs of the organisation.
Your superiors embody the goals and norms of the organisation and enrich the social structure of the company by a strategic component. They interpret the experiences in the past as well as the current situation and give them meaning and purpose.
“My boss helps me to put the experiences of my daily work into context in order for me to make sensible decisions instead of just putting Top-Down-Decisions into practice.”
Is it important for you that your strengths are understood and specifically developed? You want to personally contribute to the company and surmount your own boundaries?

Working World – Nursing in transition
Through newly gained knowledge the classic job outline of nursing is changing in our geriatric nursing homes:
Are you questioning previous structures and wishing for new development- opportunities?
Innovative technologies are changing the communication as well as the daily nursing routines of the employees in the nursing facilities. The workplace of the future is more than the integration of new digital technologies:
Would you like to co-design the preconditions for a digital workplace and through that a future oriented and efficient Working World?
Have you realised that the work of a nurse can be immensely supported by the use of technology?
Are you interested to work with digital technologies?
The department of communication technology is of high value for us. The digital exchange of data means a great relief for the nursing staff.
The telemedicine which we offer in cooperation with residential doctors in Wolfsburg and Brome enables medical examinations and agreements with doctors at a short notice. Therapies can be adapted fast and patient-oriented. The Communication between doctor and patient occurs via tablet.
Great potential lies in the networking of the service provider. The change in nursing is actively made through interdisciplinary cooperation and the opportunity of the direct exchange of patient data. Through the digital transformation the work routines are redesigned, the physical strain of the employees goes down – a design task for humans by humans.
Insights into our Working World 2020 are available in our photo gallery at the bottom.
Ralf-Werner Günther, Director: “It is important to contribute to and demonstrate the potential for a future oriented nursing world with modern technologies. The employees are supported in their nursing routines through digital application. We actively participate in the development of smart nursing.”
