The German labor market is in upheaval – skilled workers are in short supply, AI is changing the rules of the game, and many employers are still clinging to outdated concepts. But those who keep complaining will lose. In this talk, Marcus Merheim shows how companies can view the crisis not as a threat, but as a competitive advantage. By developing a genuine employer identity, fostering professional organizational development, and having the courage to approach topics differently. This is how you become visible, attract talent, and position your organization for the future. It’s time to leave your comfort zone – or risk being left behind.
