How to build a sustainable work culture The challenge is to match the needs, competences, and abilities of the individual with the jobs and the quality of working conditions (Eurofounds, 2015) in order to foster rather than to exploit human resources. Target groups are educators (cooperatives, associations, public institutions). The IO will be realized through a bottom-up strategy in order to actively involve the target groups. Will be used active methodologies and tools (working groups, flipped activities, self-evaluation tools) to activate people and make them aware of their roles and functions in promoting a sustainable working condition and personal well-being. The analysis need will be managed using a closed questions questionnaire on the theme “well-being and sustainability at work” and the data will be analyzed by different focuses: organizational aspect; working group situation and relational and communicative dynamics. The key elements that will emerge from quantitative data will be examine in depth using Focus Groups and interviews. This IO represents an innovation of process based on the direct involving of the target groups. The element of innovation is represented by a matrix of self-evaluation about well-being practices in order to make responsible workers about their work conditions and situations. This matrix aims to elaborate a transferable guide with the key indicator to build a culture of sustainable work. |
