Our attitudes to work are changing. Whilst the workplace offers less stability and security, the worker demands more flexibility and pleasure. Managers are realising the need to cultivate creativity and conviviality to maximise profits since hard labour and long hours are no longer guarantees of results. AOW insists that Artists are a valuable human resource in the new work paradigms of open office architecture and new management techniques.
