Company-level flexicurity during the restructuring process : a model

Alexis Rydell; Rune Wigblad

This article focuses on the analysis of and suggestions for improving company-level flexicurity during the restructuring process, based on a best-practice case in Sweden. The parties involved in the restructuring process created company-level flexicurity through strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) in exchange for increased numerical flexibility by means of temporary employees. The high numerical flexibility was possible because the trade unions saw that top management was committed to strategic socially responsible behaviour in the restructuring process. Our proposal concerns the dissemination of a model for company-level flexicurity during the restructuring process which promotes: (1) improved strategic CSR in the restructuring process, (2) improved transition to new employment in the local labour market and (3) improved flexibility, which creates increased efficiency, competitiveness and rapid payback in the course of restructuring. Cet article est centré sur l’analyse de la « flexicurité » au niveau de l’entreprise durant le processus de restructuration et sur des suggestions d’amélioration sur la base d’un cas de meilleure pratique en Suède. Les parties impliquées dans le processus de restructuration ont créé une « flexicurité » au niveau de l’entreprise au travers d’une approche stratégique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE), en échange d’une flexibilité numérique accrue grâce au recours à une main-d’oeuvre temporaire. La flexibilité numérique élevée a été rendue possible parce que les syndicats ont vu que le sommet du management avait adopté un comportement stratégique socialement responsable durant le processus de restructuration. Notre proposition concerne la dissémination d’un modèle de flexicurité durant le processus de restructuration qui promeut: (1) une meilleure approche stratégique de la RSE durant le processus de restructuration, (2) une meilleure transition vers un nouvel emploi sur le marché du travail local, et (3) une meilleure flexibilité, qui génère une efficience et une compétitivité accrues et un retour rapide à la rentabilité au cours de la restructuration. Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand eines Beispiels bewährter Praxis in Schweden die Anwendung betrieblicher Flexicurity-Regelungen während des Umstrukturierungsprozesses und formuliert Vorschläge für deren Verbesserung. Die an dieser Umstrukturierung beteiligten Parteien haben eine Flexicurity-Regelung im Rahmen einer Strategie zur sozialen Verantwortung des Unternehmens (CSR) eingeführt, als Gegenleistung für eine erhöhte Flexibilität durch den Einsatz von Zeitarbeitskräften. Die Gewerkschaften akzeptierten die hohe Flexibilität, weil die Unternehmensführung sich zu einem strategischen sozial verantwortungsvollen Handeln im Umstrukturierungsprozess verpflichtet hatte. Aus unserer Sicht sollte bei Umstrukturierungsprozessen ein betriebliches Flexicurity-Modell angewandt werden, das Folgendes fördert: 1) eine verbesserte strategische CSR im Umstrukturierungsprozess, 2) einen besseren Übergang in eine neue Beschäftigung auf dem lokalen Arbeitsmarkt und 3) eine verbesserte Flexibilität, die zu mehr Effizienz und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit führt und eine schnelle Amortisierung während der Umstrukturierung ermöglicht.

Work environment investments: outcomes from three cases

Alexis Rydell; Ing-Marie Andersson

Work environment investments are important in order to create a healthy and safe workplace. This article presents findings from a seven-step interventions process aimed at examining and following-up work environment investments in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a particular focus on air contaminants. Three different cases were analyzed and included in the study: (a) an educational center for welding; (b) a paint station in furniture manufacturing; (c) a joinery in furniture manufacturing. The results show that the work environment investments were highly appreciated by the employees and managers, but at the same time the investment could be optimized through markedly decreased exposure levels for the worker. Factors such as follow-ups of the investment, education and training in how to use the equipment, worker involvement in the process and leadership engagement are important in order to optimize work environment investments.
