Concept
The New World of Work is a new flexible way of working and collaborating with co-workers, partners, customers etc. This new kind of working is funded on three pillars: People & Organisation, The Office and ICT.
People & Organisation
In order to stay competitive organisations need to hire and retain the best staff. To be an attractive employer for talent you need to challenge them and make them responsible for the results they deliver. In this culture of openness Managers control less and support more.
ICT
ICT is the underlying enabler of the “New World of Work” because it makes it possible for people to work from anywhere, at any time, with anybody. We use solutions as video conferencing, presence and virtual workspaces on a daily basis and feel it is key for working in the “New World of Work”
The Office – Workplace
The office & its workplaces need to invite and stimulate people to perform different types of work in the most effective and pleasurable way. People spend more and more time collaborating with others (co-workers, partners or customers) so setup workspaces specific for these types of activity: meetings, brainstorms, video conferences, chats and of course some relax spaces to play and have fun.
Orbit One and The New World of Work
Within Orbit One we wanted to know where we stand in ‘the new world of work’ so we did a survey originally created by Dik Bijl in Dutch and translated it into English because in our team of 17 enthusiastic employees that is the working language :-)
If you want to do the survey yourself please download it and use the excel template analyzing the results.
Results
Here is a graph of the results of the survey focusing on the different aspects of ‘the new world of work’
The results of the survey told us that we are doing reasonably well but as always there is room for improvement! We started on our physical work environment: The Office.
Come and experience One Office
With the survey in mind we started with the upgrade of our Office in Gent to be ready for the ‘New World of Work’.
We rent out part of our office so if you want to take advantage of this highly productive and fun working environment or if you just want to have peek inside, don’t be shy, come and visit us in Gent!
