We welcome you to the website of the Dutch E-work Foundation (EwerkForum)
We are an independent foundation, started in 1994 as an offspring from a major project of the Dutch Ministry of Transport to prevent traffic jams on our busy highways.
Our foundation aims to stimulate e-working in the Netherlands by promoting all benefits to a variety of groups: Employers, employees, governments and other stakeholders like employers-associations and trade unions. We provide information to all those interested in this field by means of focused presentations, information packages, this website with knowledge-base, books and publications, etc. We also offer an Ework Quick Scan for your organisation, see below for more details.
EwerkForum is sponsored by 39 contribuants [as per 1-1-09] who enable us to continue our "missionary" work in the Netherlands; see under 'Participants' who they are and what services they provide.
Our steady focus on eworking has proven to be successful: The Netherlands has one of the highest percentage eworkers, viz. 21% of the total working population. (Compared to the US: 17%; to the EU average: 7%), but we still continue our effort to promote eworking, as traffic jams and car penetration still increase, whilst the rapid deployment of technical facilities in the Netherlands is facilitating e-working possibilities (UMTS, broadband, etc.).
If you want further information, feel free to contact us. See 'Contact'.
Yours sincerely,
Dutch Ework Foundation (Stichting Nederlands E-werkforum )
