Book: Chronobiology in personnel management
“This book was/is way ahead of its time in terms of personnel management.”
I hear this phrase again and again, especially now in times of growing interest in chronoworking. I deliberately called the expanded 2nd edition of my book “Liquid Work – Arbeiten 3.0”, published in 2012, “Chronobiologie im Personalmanagement” (Chronobiology in HR Management), as it contains remote work(Liquid Work/New Work) as well as work according to the internal clock.
Here I combine current and updated content with even more emphasis on chronobiology. If you want to attract and retain skilled workers in the future, you have to come up with more than just extrinsic motivational factors. Generation Y expects a working environment that takes their individual needs into account. Companies that are still stuck in the dogma that the employee has to bend around the company will be the losers in the battle against the shortage of skilled workers.
AND – anyone who is committed to putting people at the center of everything they do cannot ignore chronobiology and chronoworking.

Reviews on "Chronobiology in personnel management"
Gepflegt durchatmen 04/2017, specialist magazine for out-of-hospital intensive care – “How do we want to work in the future?”
The topic of “new forms of work” has also arrived in the care sector. The specialist magazine “Gepflegt durchatmen” discusses my book in the light of developments within the care sector.
Quote:
“The book demonstrates how urgently society as a whole needs to rethink the way we work. The topic concerns us all. That is why this book is highly recommended not only for entrepreneurs and managers, but also for employees. It will be interesting to see how and whether all the suggestions are taken up by the care sector, whether inpatient, outpatient or non-clinical. It would be important, because it is precisely here that employees have to be particularly flexible, day and night, to be there for their fellow human beings.”
Reviews of the 1st edition “Liquid Work – Arbeiten 3.0”
Facts 2/2013- Liquid Work literature tip – “The long goodbye to the time clock”
is the title of the 2/2013 issue of the management magazine “Facts”. This article, which also quotes from my book, shows why many companies still have problems actually using mobile working effectively and sensibly. “Liquid Work – Arbeiten 3.0” is recommended reading for this.
“Unique view of the world of work”
The reader receives a lot of background information. … I personally liked the book very much because it takes a unique look at a possible future of the world of work. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I already pay attention to my personal, internal clock. Now author Michael Wieden has explained the background to this to me. I recommend this book to students who want to become managers or executives in order to organize themselves during their studies and to better understand and manage their staff more efficiently in the future. As well as people who are already in management positions in order to open their eyes to a possible future work structure.”

“With Liquid Work: Working 3.0, Michael Wieden has written an inspiring book …
… in which he invites us to put our modern conception of work and working time through its paces. The author refers to the demographic and ideological change that is already taking place worldwide and encourages us to embrace the opportunities of this change. With his book, Michael Wieden has succeeded in creating an instructive blend of economics, working time philosophy and – for the first time! – chronobiology”
Dr. Thomas Kantermann, chronobiologist at the University of Groningen/NL
“I am a liquid worker. And a happy mom. Both out of conviction.”
Susanna Hinrichs, The Golden Fleece
How work is done in the knowledge society
“Michael Wieden’s book fits perfectly into the discussion about the shortage of skilled workers and the knowledge society and provides an interesting approach. Yahoo boss Marissa Mayer should also consider whether her latest order is actually correct and not simply regressive.”
