A New Way of Working

Getronics Believes that a genuinely New Way of Working is beginning to emerge. The organisations which benefit will be those who take time to stop and examine what is happening. The New Way of Working is integral to Getronics' thinking and action. At the conclusion of this short paper we will make some sound and practical suggestions on how best to welcome new ways of working, but first, we'd like to share some of our thoughts on what is happening right now.

this is not a description of the technical architecture, functions or managed services relating to new ways of working. These aspects of the subject are fully described on getronics.nl/HetNieuweWerken.

A Getronics survey of 1500 Dutch business users shows that half the employees have at least the possibility of working from home. This is still, however, regarded as a privilege rather than a productivity issue. Trends also change by role and sector with home-working options offered as follows: ICT (75%), Finance (59%), Sales & Marketing jobs (65%) senior management (85%).
