New Ways to Work 2000European Telework7.7 eWork Week 2000What is eWork Week?eWork Week (eW²) is building on the successful foundation of Telework Week, that has been running since1995. New paradigms in business and administration now show that work processes need to change rapidly tomatch the changes being brought by the emerging Information Society. These changes go far deeper than thesimple relocation of work suggested by the term telework, hence the broader term of e-Work.eW² aims to reach out to the broadest population of citizens, and help them understand this process of change,helping to accelerate adoption of new working methods and changing attitudes to its implementation. This isachieved through focussed events held all around Europe. These events are typically held not only in the maincity but also in the regions where individuals have less opportunity to attend events. These events may take theform of discussions, workshops, open days, seminars. Other forms of event may take place virtually across theInternet, or through phone-in on local radio.The topics covered in these events can also be wide ranging with some of the possible topics outlined below:• Technological solutions for the networked organisation• The social impacts of working in the Information Society• New working practices to help the integration of the disadvantaged into work• Impact of new working practices on work legislation• How to gain a competitive edge by introducing e-workOrganisers of events are encouraged to network and use the branding of eW² to maximise their local impact,and draw on resources that might not be usually available to them.eW² will actively contribute to European Union policy objectives, outlined in the eEurope initiative, the"Strategy for Jobs in the Knowledge Economy".- 135 -
