Sustainable Work Systems in the Technological Transformation

 

Sustainable Work Systems in the Technological Transformation

The concurrent changes, such as of ageing population, globalization of production and services, and technological acceleration and digitalization are profoundly changing societies, and the labour markets and work, and call for attention on sustainable work systems. Ecological crisis has brought the need to safeguard ecologic sustainability.

All these factors together have called for increased attention on social responsibility and social justice. These need to be responded with macro-, meso- and micro-level policies and practices. Given the accelerated technological developments and digitalization there is a need for new knowledge on the topic that will aim to renew both practice and research.

Sustainable Work Systems (SWS)- project conducted a research review and held a seminar on the topic in December 11^th, 2019 at Tampere University.

Based on the review, we have prepared a presentation, see: Sustainable Work Systems presentation .
