Barometer 2013: Cost-cutting main expectation from the New Worlds of Work

Users of the New Worlds of Work (NWW) increasingly had as their primary goal to achieve lower cost for their company. Whereas in 2012 expectations still revolved primarily around growing employee satisfaction and an improved work-life balance for employees, in 2013 ambitions shifted toward reducing costs in particular. At present, NWW offers a mixed picture: it is becoming ever more common and is also increasingly recognisable as a concept, while at the same time resistance against it is on the rise, and enthusiasm is on the wane. Watch Professor Eric van Heck as he explains the current status of NWW in the Netherlands.
