The rise of Strategic Talent Management (STM) and Experience Communication has been visible for several years in high end business organizations and (semi-) governmental organizations.  Important incentives have been a clear long-term vision and the preservation of the knowledge-based economy.

1. TRUST 
At an accounting firm partners were contemplating the idea of working at home at a regular basis, the so called ‘new way of working’. The word trust popped up in almost every paragraph of every policy, action plan and information brochure about this subject within their company. That’s why trust became a central theme in this conversation. What does trust really mean? And did the partners have a common idea on this concept of trust? As it turned out, the meaning, interpretation and value of trust were strikingly different to each of the partners.

. FREEDOM IN COMMITMENT
According to bestselling author Daniel Pink, 'autonomy' is the strongest of the three intrinsic motivators people can have (Drive, 2010). The promise of the new way of working primarily lies in increasing that freedom; it speaks to the autonomy of colleagues. Organizations and managers can easily adapt to these new ideas and the financial costs are nil to none. 
 
4. VITALITY 
Company fitness, running clinics and health programs within large organizations are booming business. There already is overwhelming evidence of its advantages. A study which surveyed depressed patients showed that the effect of exercising three times a week was just as effective as taking a large dose of antidepressants.


5. EXPERTISE 
Further developing the expertise of employees is a challenge in which everyone can use some help. In the hectic reality of everyday life, the urgency of developing one’s own talents sometimes emerges to the background. Everyone could use a review of his own craftsmanship once in a while.
 
 
6. MEANINGFULL
 "What is meaningful work to you?" Starting with this ordinary question, the MVO Netherlands conducted a case study within Vebego. The question was proposed in several layers of a company; from the cleaners all the way up to the Board of Directors. One important characteristic is to know the reason why you do this specific job. Perhaps this seems like an obvious question although that isn’t always the case.

The world around us changes faster than ever before; internet and social media make knowledge and information available everywhere. Society and the way people interact, live and eventually work change accordingly.

Fast.
