SAP: Return to the office and salaries in the home office (podcast)

2021-08-26T15:34:38.402Z


Should the workplace have an impact on salary? How do hybrid conferences and team projects succeed? Cawa Younosi, Head of Human Resources at SAP Germany, on returning to the office.


The pandemic is far from over, the number of cases is rising again - nevertheless, many people are slowly returning to the offices.

Many questions arise for managers: How much closeness is acceptable for all team members?

Who wants to work in the office again and how often?

And: How do I organize the hybrid collaboration so that everyone can participate equally?

And nobody is excluded because he or she is connected to a small laptop screen and can therefore hardly be seen or heard?

Cawa Younosi, Head of Human Resources and a member of the management board of SAP Germany, shares his experiences in Podcast Team A with Xing editor-in-chief Astrid Maier and Antonia Götsch, editor-in-chief of the Harvard Business Manager.

He explains why the software company lets its employees decide for themselves where and when to work - and what it looks like in everyday life.

"The important thing is that you basically have to trust," he says.

Executives should not equate working hours, productivity and attendance.

If this is achieved in four instead of five days, the result counts as well.

"We say: trust instead of control. Result before presence."

Younosi also takes a clear position on the current debate about salaries.

Google employees working from home recently said they feared wage cuts.

It is quite common for tech companies to adjust salaries to where you live.

"To cut salaries retrospectively just because someone is working from home - that is unthinkable for us," says the HR manager.
