As we explained in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09585192.2022.2149151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an article on \u2018new ways of working\u2019<\/a>&nbsp;published in The International Journal of Human Resource Management, modern work arrangements challenge existing notions about where work takes place, how it is done, who does it and even what work is. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated existing trends, suggesting that an increasing number of individuals carry out work in a non-traditional way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when can work be described as \u2018new\u2019 as opposed to \u2018old\u2019 ways of working? Remote work is one obvious aspect. While the past couple of decades saw a significant increase in homeworking (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/2017-State-of-Telecommuting-US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up 115%<\/a>&nbsp;in the US over the 2005-2015 period, for example), the Covid-19 crisis made it relevant to a majority of the workforce nearly overnight. Automation is another aspect, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/future-of-work\/jobs-lost-jobs-gained-what-the-future-of-work-will-mean-for-jobs-skills-and-wages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimates<\/a>&nbsp;suggesting that in about 60% of occupations, one-third of tasks could be automated. Last, but not least, the number of gig workers \u2013 on temporary or freelance arrangements \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mastercard.us\/content\/dam\/public\/mastercardcom\/na\/us\/en\/documents\/mastercard-fueling-the-global-gig-economy-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is projected to rise<\/a>&nbsp;to 78 million in 2023, up from 43 million in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not minor adaptations, but large-scale transformations. Yet little is known about their impact on employee experience. This is why we set out to explore four major transformative processes and their benefits and downsides for employees\u2019 attitudes, performance, skills, career advancement and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn-1024x715.jpg\" alt=\"Projected churn and net growth\/decline of employment 2023-2027, by occupation Image: World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Survey 2023\/International Labour Organization, ILOSTAT\" class=\"wp-image-10452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/five-year-structural-churn.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption h-tl\" style=\"text-align:left !important;\"><span class=\"h-tl\">Projected churn and net growth\/decline of employment 2023-2027, by occupation&nbsp;Image:&nbsp;World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Survey 2023\/International Labour Organization, ILOSTAT<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-yellow-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-yellow-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Workspace and time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexible working, usually in the form of remote work, is generally perceived as beneficial for employees. Numerous studies show that they enjoy increased autonomy in managing their schedule and tend to report greater levels of satisfaction than their office-based counterparts, with such positive outcomes as reduced stress (no more commuting) and fewer work-life conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, recent studies also show that \u2018high-intensity teleworkers\u2019 struggle over disconnecting outside working hours, which induces stress and exhaustion, with higher intentions to quit. While \u2018telepresence robots\u2019 (screens enabling co-workers to see each other)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/ITP-01-2021-0080\/full\/html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have been studied<\/a>&nbsp;as a way to decrease feelings of isolation, they are also potential threats to privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Work relations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The employment contract, once the basic foundation that ties individuals to an organization, in the words of the researchers, is waning. Instead, employment relations are now (more loosely) organized along such options as temp agency workers, freelancers, contractors, etc. This whole \u2018gig economy\u2019 has grown to the extent that crowd work represents the main job for 2% of the entire workforce in 14 countries in Europe. Gig jobs also include direct sales and the so-called \u2018sharing economy\u2019 where platforms digitally connect workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussions around gig jobs emphasise their positive aspects, such as schedule flexibility and higher levels of compensation (the latter evidenced by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.journals.uchicago.edu\/doi\/10.1086\/702171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a 2019 study<\/a>&nbsp;comparing Uber drivers with traditional taxis). Gig workers, however, often hold \u2018precarious positions\u2019 and lack social and job security compared to \u2018regular\u2019 employees. Plus, in a bid to appear continually available, freelancers tend to work irregular hours and their work is often in conflict with their private commitments. Although they may perceive their careers as successful, these are uncertain and fluid and without some level of organizational support, freelancers have limited chances to develop their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, for those being assigned tasks through the algorithms often embedded in the digital platforms of the sharing economy, the lack of human interaction and feeling of surveillance can result in reduced well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Content of work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Much ink has been poured about technology automating tasks previously carried out by humans, particularly dangerous or repetitive tasks, and about the fear \u2013 still very much alive \u2013 that jobs will simply disappear, with consequences in terms of anxiety for workers, especially among the less skilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, research may have shown that machines may unleash human capabilities, but has also sparked questions about issues of agency that may arise for those working alongside \u2018smart\u2019 machines, with possible surveillance issues and broader questions about new relations of power, authority and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Allocation and organization of work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional management hierarchies are evolving towards more agile, participative ways of working. Agility is presented as a mainly positive new way to allocate work for employees, with improved engagement and satisfaction. The increased autonomy given to teams helps them navigate uncertain environments and contributes to the psychological empowerment and motivation of agile teams, with positive implications for the team&#8217;s innovative behaviour and project performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One caveat is that when management is delegated to algorithms in digital platforms, empathy and human connection are lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges for human resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the increase in non-traditional ways of working, HR practices need to adapt. For instance, HR practices that are less often included in traditional HR bundles, such as well-being programmes or practices promoting job security, might be of high relevance to workers who are at the periphery of organizations (e.g. temporary or agency workers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding flexibility, they must consider how to align the demands of workers (many of whom are less than keen to return to the office) and the operational needs of managers (persons present on-site to train new recruits, for instance). HR professionals will need to develop sophisticated solutions to all of these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-yellow-color
