Remote and flexible working arrangements became common during the pandemic. But how well does it really work? A Nordic-Baltic research project is investigating the consequences of the new working life for managers and employees.
Remote work and hybrid workplaces became common during the pandemic. NordForsk has now awarded funding for five projects that will investigate how these and other developments affect future working life.
Project aiming at exploring how local labour markets in the Nordic Region face the opportunities and challenges related to the global megatrends in general, and the green transition in particular.
Project aiming to generate knowledge and solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future working life for ageing population in the countries of the Nordic-Baltic region.
Project aiming to increase understanding of the opportunities and challenges employees and leaders encounter in remote and flexible work settings to secure work-related health and work performance.
Sexual harassment is a severe workplace issue that threatens employees’ health and wellbeing. This project will increase theoretical and empirical knowledge on sexual harassment through academic and practitioner-based efforts with working life partners, specifically within the police in Norway, Sweden and Iceland.
The overall aim of the call is to generate knowledge and solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future working life in a Nordic and/or Nordic-Lithuanian context.
A well-functioning working life is central to the development of society, as it creates the conditions for economic growth and for the funding of welfare systems. In a time of rapid societal changes, working life must be shaped in such a way that it is inclusive, sustainable and promotes good health and wellbeing.
