The Future of Work - livre blanc de Esselte - 0 views

  •  
    "As a result of the internet, new technologies, the huge increase in mobile or home working, part-time jobs and today's 'always on', 24/7 culture, we found that most people now spend more time working than sleeping. In fact by 2015 around 40% of the total workforce will be mobile. The reason for this is that work is no longer where the office is but for mobile workers it is wherever they are - be that their car, home, coffee shop, the airport, customer site or even on holiday. This is just one area our report identifies as having a massive impact on the way we work;" explains Richard Watson. Other factors covered in the paper include: Ageing workforces: By 2050 over 65's will represent around 50% of the working population in Europe Millennials and Gen Y: More tech-savvy than any other generation The generation gap: Millennials think senior management do not relate to them and use autocratic command and control structures Gender: The huge economic impact of getting more women in the workforce especially at senior levels. Eliminating the gap between male and female employment would boost GDP by 9% in US, 13% in Eurozone and 16% in Japan (Goldman Sachs). Mobile working: By 2015 new technologies mean 1.3 billion (or 40%) of the total working population will be mobile Security of Information: Workers will have their own devices (BYOD) and potentially work remotely creating huge security and data storage/retrieval challenges. Where will new talent for workforce come from? Talent scarcities worldwide mean that by 2030 the USA will need to add over 25 million workers to its talent base to sustain economic growth and Western Europe more than 45 million.

What If You Combined Co-Working And Daycare? | Fast Company - 0 views

  •  
    "NextKids is an offshoot of the popular co-working company NextSpace, which has 10 locations in California. NextKids, at the Potrero Hill, San Francisco location is like co-working meets daycare--with a community of working adults--graphic designers, biomedical engineers, app developers--and their kids. It's like 'it takes a village,' only with more Wi-Fi."

Huge survey reveals seven social classes in UK - BBC News - 0 views

  • The new classes are defined as:

    • Elite - the most privileged group in the UK, distinct from the other six classes through its wealth. This group has the highest levels of all three capitals
    • Established middle class - the second wealthiest, scoring highly on all three capitals. The largest and most gregarious group, scoring second highest for cultural capital
    • Technical middle class - a small, distinctive new class group which is prosperous but scores low for social and cultural capital. Distinguished by its social isolation and cultural apathy
    • New affluent workers - a young class group which is socially and culturally active, with middling levels of economic capital
    • Traditional working class - scores low on all forms of capital, but is not completely deprived. Its members have reasonably high house values, explained by this group having the oldest average age at 66
    • Emergent service workers - a new, young, urban group which is relatively poor but has high social and cultural capital
    • Precariat, or precarious proletariat - the poorest, most deprived class, scoring low for social and cultural capital

A Network Of Transparent Futuristic Offices Created For The Mobile, Urban Workforce | C... - 0 views

  • The design is basically an updated and more stylish version of an internet cafe, intended to encourage more interaction. The structure is a simple glass wall or cube, so everyone is visible while they work, like in a miniature version of the Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York City, "As opposed to being tucked away by yourself at Starbucks, WW offers the opportunity to connect with fellow entrepreneurs while being 'out there' and seen by the public doing business," Berdou explains
  •  
    "U.K. design student Julie Berdou has an idea for how to create even more options for mobile work: A network of tiny offices, called WW, that would be spread across a city, offering a spot to stop in for a few minutes and work while you're on-the-go. Her design won a recent RSA Student Design Award."

Apploitation in a city of instaserfs | Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - 0 views

  • I signed up for as many sharing economy jobs as I could, but they’re not really jobs. I was never an employee; I was a “partner,” or a “hero” or even a “ninja” depending on the app. Sharing economy companies are just middlemen, connecting independent contractors to customers. When I signed up to work with (not for) these apps, I was essentially starting my own ride-sharing/courier business.
  • We do still have a boss. It just isn’t a person. It’s an algorithm.
  • The standard ride-sharing or courier app’s business model looks something like this:  When introducing your app into a new city, take heavy losses by over-paying drivers and under-charging customers. Offer drivers cash bonuses to get their friends to sign up. Once you’ve got a steady supply of drivers invested in the app, start lowering their pay. 
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • The idea is to reward loyalty and prevent drivers from having Uber and Lyft open at the same time. The thing is, if you’re working 40 or 50 hours a week with one company, that looks a lot less like a gig and a lot more like full-time employment.
  • In Los Angeles, September 2014, a group of Lyft drivers burned their pink mustaches in protest of the pay cuts. These kinds of actions aren’t very common because most of us don’t know our co-workers and there is no physical location to congregate. Lyft doesn’t allow their drivers at the head office. The main place for “sharing economy” workers to connect is through online forums and Facebook groups
  • Yes, people have been kicked off Postmates for complaining. I’ve talked to them. And yes, the official Postmates courier group on Facebook is censored to erase anything that could be perceived as a complaint. But more importantly it’s clear that Postmates is not preparing its workers for the realities of life as an independent contractor. Many are shocked about how much they have to pay in taxes and how little they’re making doing the work. There are plenty of screenshots showing that some are making less than minimum wage.
  • I ended up having to take on all kinds of little expenses like these. It’s part of the risk of starting your own business. That time, I just had to buy a $3 froyo but it can be a lot worse (parking tickets in San Francisco can be over $80). Oftentimes you have to choose between parking illegally or being late with an order.
  • All the risk falls onto the worker and the company is free of liability—despite the placard being an explicit suggestion that it’s okay to break the law if that’s what you’ve got to do to get the order done on time. 
  • Postmates responded by “updating” the app to a “blind system” in which we could still accept or reject jobs, but without enough information to determine whether it would be worth our time or not (e.g., a huge grocery store order). To make sure we accept jobs quickly without analyzing them, the app plays an extremely loud and annoying beeping noise designed specifically to harass couriers into submitting to the algorithm.
  • One of the best companies I worked for is called Washio. I picked up dirty laundry and delivered clean laundry. It was the best paying and least stressful of all the apps I worked with that month because there was no illusion of choice. Washio tells you exactly what to do and you do it. It is simple and honest. But it also betrays the spirit of the independent contractor, and that’s important for a number of reasons.
  • Plenty of people requested that I drop off their food at the door. Customers grow to love apps that make the worker anonymous. That way, you don’t have to feel guilty about having servants.

How Freelancers Are Redefining Success To Be About Value, Not Wealth | Co.Exist - 0 views

  • Time is a new currency, and successful freelancers manage, save, and spend it wisely.
  • Independent workers value community, because collaboration and camaraderie are more than warm and fuzzy feelings--they’re the foundation of success in the emerging independent economy.
  • Freelancers value eating healthy, going to the gym or practicing yoga, meditating to reduce stress, and working in spaces with plenty of light and fresh air. For a freelancer, success in work means being healthy enough--physically and mentally--to enjoy life.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Freelancers are shaping the new economy. As flexible schedules and ubiquitous communication become the norm, the work-life balance that we’ve always struggled for is becoming achievable. As community and teamwork become more necessary than ever to thrive, the lonely, closed-off cubicle will make way for meaningful collaboration. And as the demand for healthy food and workspaces increases, industry will increasingly connect corporate profits and social good.
  • The American workforce is changing, and the definition of success is changing with it. For freelancers, freedom in work, health in life, and community in both are the ticking hands on the new gold watch.

Efficiency up, turnover down: Sweden experiments with six-hour working day - 1 views

  •  
    The experiment at Svartedalens, set to continue until the end of 2016, has attracted interest across Scandinavia and beyond, as workers and managers ask whether they might learn something from it themselves. Svartedalens is attempting to avoid shortcomings by keeping the changes tightly focused and monitored. Only assistant nurses are involved, and the city's human resources management system is generating high-quality data, according to Bengt Lorentzon, a consultant on the scheme. Another care home is being used as a "control", so Svartedalens can be compared with a workplace that has stuck to an eight-hour day.

Réflexions sur l'entreprise et l'environnement de travail de demain - Entrepr... - 3 views

  • Plusieurs pistes de réflexion très intéressantes sont regroupées en cinq grandes thématiques : On Demand Staffing, où il est question d’avoir recours à un écosystème des prestataires et indépendants pour absorber la cyclicité de l’activité et savoir saisir des opportunités de diversification ponctuelles ; Collision Collusion, où l’on parle à nouveau des espaces de collaboration physiques, mobiles et virtuels ; Improvised Workplace, qui apporte une flexibilité extrême dans l’organisation du travail des équipes (mobilier, logiciels…) ; Living Knowledge, avec les notions de réseau d’apprentissage (social learning) et de processus adaptatifs (feedback culture) ; Constant Learning, dans la même lignée avec les espaces digitaux de capitalisation des savoirs, les organisations auto-apprenants et les outils de gestion de carrière collaborative.
  • De toutes ces pistes de réflexion, je retiens plusieurs idées fortes : Faire cohabiter les différentes générations, notamment en intégrant des étudiants et des incubateurs au sein de l’entreprise pour que chacun puisse apprendre des autres (de  la fertilisation croisée inter-culturelle et inter-générationnelle) ; En finir avec les aménagements traditionnels du lieu de travail et exploiter sérieusement et de façon serène le télétravail (The Next Office: Why CEOs Are Paying Attention), et tuer dans la foulée les réunions (Kill Your Meeting Room, The Future’s in Walking and Talking) ; Faire attention au bien-être des employés et à leur moral pour les fidéliser et augmenter leur productivité (cf. The Happiness Machine).
  • description de quatre modèles possibles : L’écosystème solaire, où l’entreprise est au centre d’une galaxie de sociétés partenaires, sous et co-traitantes (par opposition au modèle de croissance reposant sur l’intégration verticale) ; L’excubation, où l’entreprise va encourager et financer l’éclosion de startups accolées à elle, plutôt que de chercher à faire la révolution en interne ; L’open source, où un ensemble de sociétés et organisations créé de la valeur autour d’un bien ou d’un service commun ; L’intermédiation, qui valorise avant tout la co-création et une répartition plus distribuée de la valeur.

Accélérationnisme : à vos Marx, prêts, foncez ! - 0 views

  •  
    Les travers du capitalisme ont beau être chaque jour un peu plus évidents, la panne idéologique de la gauche est désespérante. En 2013, pourtant, la publication d'un manifeste accélérationniste par deux universitaires britanniques (traduit depuis en français et co-édité par la Cité du Design et les éditions it: à l'occasion de la Biennale internationale design de Saint-Etienne 2017) a jeté un gros pavé dans le monde des idées. Ne croyant ni à la décroissance, ni aux Zad, Alex Williams et Nick Srnicek revendiquent leur technophilie et appellent à maîtriser les outils qui, aujourd'hui, nous dépassent. Décryptage d'une pensée progressiste « fast & furious » qui, même si elle fait souffler une certaine fraîcheur intellectuelle à gauche, s'inscrit dans un héritage historique allant de Marx à Deleuze en passant par Allende, et suscite son lot de controverses.
