We learn and develop throughout our lives. Work, where many people spend a large part of their time, plays a special role in this. The project "New Job, New You?" by the TUM School of Management and the University of Amsterdam explores which impulses and interactions play a role here and how they affect our personality development. Interested students on the threshold of starting a career or employees who have just changed employers can take part. They are regularly surveyed and receive feedback on their personal development, but also on teamwork, working effectively in a home office or dealing with difficult colleagues.
