A social and sustainable work environment increasingly important for modern business
Published: February 28, 2023, 10:00 a.m. Updated: March 2, 2023, 09:44 a.m.Surveys show that the social work environment is becoming increasingly important for young people entering working life. In many cases, it is even a decisive factor when choosing an employer. As Sweden’s most complete actor in health and working life, Falck works continuously to support companies towards a more sustainable and healthy business environment – for the opportunity to reach set goals, increase efficiency and attract the right competence. The former Previa has been part of the Falck Group since 2014, but has now taken the next step and fully integrated with the group under the name Falck Health and Work Life. This means a developed way of working and a step towards becoming a leading actor for health in working life in the world. Carina Reidler, CEO of Falck Health and working life, believes that this decision means that customers can take part in a wider range of services where health and a sustainable working life and private life are ensured at all levels. – We were already an important player in corporate health, but are now taking a step back to ensure health in a larger sense. We see that modern working life requires a greater focus on health issues and a good working environment, and with our broad expertise in workplace organization and culture, health services, work environment issues and crisis support, we can support employers in these areas. New conditions require revisionIn line with the major changes in working life in recent years, higher demands are now placed on companies, and solid work is required to both attract new labor, retain the skills that already exist and for employees to perform, feel good and contribute to the company’s goals . Issues that were previously primarily driven by HR departments are now also at management level, which Carina sees positively. – I consider that work environment issues have now become part of the work of management teams to be a positive aspect of the modern workplace, but it also brings with it new requirement. Investing in the organizational and social work environment where all employees should be included and feel good requires companies to make a proper investment. The modern working life where home work and the importance of strong leadership play a big role has increased during and after the pandemic. – Increased abuse and sedentary behavior have come as a result of the pandemic, as has stress and anxiety. These new challenges need to be handled in a different way than previous problems. With expertise around these challenges, we can, together with the employers, work for a more sustainable and healthy working life and private life for everyone, she concludes.
