"Work" - What does that mean?

Driven by the second digital revolution and the rise of the 'Millennial' generation, our lives and values have undergone a great change in the past decades. With that have our perception around the notion of  'work'. 

For our parents and grandparents work used to mean a 9 to 5 job in which they stayed until they retired. It meant security and stability, which perfectly fitted into their lifestyle and they moved in only one direction – up the corporate ladder.

Today we want to move in all directions. All the time. Experience more. Experience diversity. Flexibility, balance and freedom,are the values we are looking for.

With this in mind we looked into the future trends around work and spoke to freelancers, contractors, permanent employees, HR professionals, talent brokers, company executives like McKinsey, Royal Bank of Scotland, Facebook, Ki Design and many more. And with the insights that we have gathered we created Liquid.
