Présentation de l'éditeur

Jigsawise is a much-needed new approach to work. Rather than devoting all your time to one job often to the exclusion of other interests Jigsawise shows you how to find and create individual pieces of work and use these workpieces to build a career. But Jigsawise is about far more than the process of working to earn money. It provides a template for making work fit into our lives, providing an income and financial security, but also accommodating the needs of our families and relationships, and satisfying our personal ambitions. The author also discusses the implications of this new world of work for Government policy makers, employers, educators and trainers, and human resources professionals. ...............................................................................................Comment - 'The Jigsawise process represents a new approach to work and jobs which reflects the nature of the modem economy. It is now time for government to demonstrate, through the benefit and tax credit system and job centres, that it can support and encourage flexible patterns of work' - Vince Cable
