Background and purpose
This literature review examines labour market trends, focusing on workplace flexibility. It analyses grey literature and statistical reports to understand the impact of policies promoting sustainable digitisation. The analysis seeks to understand how these strategies have influenced labour market dynamics.
Methodology
The research utilised descriptive and compilation techniques to analyse grey literature, focusing on theoretical frameworks and temporal trends. It analysed non-traditional publications, reports, and statistical data to understand emerging labour market trends, particularly workplace flexibility and sustainable digitisation policies. This approach provided unique insights beyond traditional academic publications.
Results
Three major themes were identified by the review of grey literature sources. First is the impact of digitalisation on the labour market, the second is flexible working arrangements, and the third is working time flexibility.
Conclusion
The digital revolution transforms lifestyles and practices, leading to novel work forms. The pandemic has accelerated this trend, focusing on digitisation for work optimisation and flexibility. These new work forms increase productivity efficiency and reduce operational costs. Technological integration affects work quality and employee competencies, influencing the workforce’s needs.
