The policy for the work environment and wellbeing at work until 2030 specifies the strategy of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, and guides the activities of the ministry and its administrative branch to ensure healthy and safe work at all workplaces regardless of the form of employment.
Working life, the contents of work, the ways and modes of working as well as Finland’s workforce are undergoing a transformation. What working life is like and how those involved in it are doing affect the welfare of individuals, the productivity and competitiveness of organisations, and the social sustainability of society.
The safety management as well as workability and wellbeing at work plays a key role in developing the work environment, reducing disability as well as promoting health and wellbeing. At every workplace, the employer, staff and occupational health care will collaborate in taking measures that promote workability and return to work. Particular attention must be paid to supporting persons with partial workability in remaining at work and finding employment.
The policy has three focus areas:
• Future challenges concerning occupational safety and health, and wellbeing at work
• Safe and healthy working conditions
• Promoting functional capacity, workability, and employability
Extensive cooperation is required to achieve these goals. This policy, prepared in collaboration with the institutions in the administrative branch, labour market organisations and other partners, is an example of such cooperation.
