# IMAGE_PROMPT: Fluktuation

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-22

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Fluktuation = employee turnover, change, transition – people leaving and arriving, flow, "fluctuare" (hin- und her schwanken). Distinct from Mitarbeiterbindung (retention, staying) and Offboarding (departure only). **Concrete metaphor:** Revolving door – people coming and going, turnover, exchange.

## Key Elements (On-Theme)

- Revolving door at modern office building entrance – concrete symbol of turnover (people in, people out)
- Soft daylight through glass, muted blues and greens with warm accents
- Conveys flow, exchange, change – recognizable HR/workplace context
- No people (avoid overlap with mitarbeiterbindung silhouettes); empty entrance is fine

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- Abstract flowing shapes, layered forms, soft nodes – too generic, not topic-specific (see BLOG_FEATURED_IMAGE_STYLE_GUIDE § On-Theme Over Abstract)
- CAFE (mitarbeiterbindung), silhouettes in conversation (mitarbeiterbindung – "staying")
- Doorway/corridor with empty chair (offboarding – departure only; Fluktuation = both in and out)
- Generic desk, handshakes, blue sphere, clock, sundial

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot, low angle or eye-level. Revolving door as focal point, soft depth of field. Professional building entrance, clean lines.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Professional, transitional, calm – turnover as normal workplace dynamic, not chaos or drama

## Prompt

Editorial photography, soft film-like quality. Modern office building entrance with a glass revolving door, empty, soft daylight through glass. Muted blues and greens with warm amber accents. Shallow depth of field. Conveys employee turnover – people coming and going, flow, exchange – professional HR context. No text, letters, typography, signs, or readable content. 16:9 landscape. Avoid: abstract flowing shapes, layered forms, cafe interior, silhouettes, generic desk, handshakes, blue sphere, sundial, doorway with empty chair (offboarding).
