In the sixth episode of our podcast "forward thinking" about current trends, developments, and challenges in the world of learning and work, Yannick Müller speaks with Christoph Hoffmann.

Christoph is a co-founder of the lifestyle brand 25hours Hotels. What began as a small group and a brainstorming session in Copenhagen has grown into a lifestyle brand with hotels around the world. Always with a focus on individuality and personality. True to the motto: "If you've seen one, you've seen none."

From the outset, conceptually new approaches were pursued and efforts were made to break existing conventions. These considerations did not stop at the organization itself. For example, many years ago they already addressed how to attract skilled workers to the company and therefore introduced the concept of the four-day workweek — mind you, long before it became a trend.

Why will leadership play an important role in the future? And why, alongside the 4-day workweek, should a 7-day workweek also be possible? It's best to listen to this exciting episode with Christoph.

We will also address the following questions:

  • How did the success story of 25hours Hotels begin?

  • What has Christoph's role in the company been since the sale to Accor?

  • And what does he absolutely want to achieve in his life?
