Investment in the quality of work life
WORK2030 must continue, with additional resources provided
Objective
- The WORK2030 programme must be continued with increased resources into the next government term. This is a joint call from all of the national labour market confederations.
Grounds
The challenges of society in terms of wellbeing at work, productivity and the attractiveness of work can all be solved. They can be influenced in a sustainable way by improving everyday operations at workplaces.
The WORK2030 programme extends to all workplaces in all industries throughout Finland. The programme has already launched 30 industry projects and 10 regional projects implemented jointly by trade unions and employers’ federations. A total of approximately 1,000 workplaces have been reached so far.
The management network of the programme also includes 5,600 individuals engaged in management work and interested in management. The programme content has been designed and implemented on a tripartite basis.
The WORK2030 programme seeks to:
- accelerate reforms of operating practices and the application of new technology at Finnish workplaces
- strengthen a working culture based on cooperation and trust
- make Finland a leading developer of work life innovations in the digital age
- make Finland a global leader in wellbeing at work by the year 2030.
