Transatlantic Tandem Talk

“Trust is Good – Control is Better? Finding the Right Balance”

The next Transatlantic Tandem Talk will feature an expert discussion with Prof. Matthias Heinz from the University of Cologne’s Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences and Jobina Gonsalves, Senior Vice President for HR at TÜV SÜD Americas Region on trust, control, and management. Many firms are faced with the question whether and how closely they should monitor their workers. In a large-scale randomized control trial (RCT) with a major German bakery chain with 150 stores and over 2000 workers, Prof. Heinz and his team reduced the monitoring intensity in randomly selected stores for several months. Join this talk to explore whether and under which circumstances control is good, or trust is better! The Transatlantic Tandem Talk series is co-sponsored by the DWIH.
