Did you know that all Dutch traffic jams would disappear when everyone picks one day per week to arrive one hour earlier or later at office?
We’re talking about working in a new style: ‘Het nieuwe werken.’ This concept is mainly about flexibility and it is applied in different ways. Employees and managers can start a little earlier or later with their work, or they can choose to work one (or more days) per week at home for example. Working in new style can also mean that the duration of the working schedule changes (regularly).
According to TNS Nipo, it appears to be that 87% percent of the Dutch people think that less day care is needed for children. As mentioned above, it is also said that traffic jams will slowly disappear when more people tend to work flexible. Furthermore, it seems that people who already work in new style experience much more freedom. This causes greater happiness which makes employees and managers less stressed.
I personally think that working in new style has the future. Thanks to techniques of videoconferences, it is possible to attend a meeting with your colleagues almost as real as face to face contact, but without being in the same room. I also find that typing a report is much more relaxing when you are at a quit space with no distractions from others. And where could you find a better place than your own home?
So if it was up to me, we all would be flexible workers! Not convinced yet? Watch this movie on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPVu2PiUalU
