Because the idea of "New Work" was developed during a real crisis.\\nKnowing how to work remotely is not new work on its own, but what we all learned through the Corona crisis can be an important accelerator on the way towards the future of work.\\nWe are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! In addition, from the very beginning we have been concerned with the question of whether all people can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being.\\n\\nYou are at On the Way to New Work - today with Job van der Voort.'
