Arbeitswelt 2020 - psychosoziale Folgen des Strukturwandels der Arbeit im europäischen Vergleich - effiziente Instrumente für eine Salutogenese in Unternehmen und Organisationen, die im Bereich der Alten- und Krankenpflege tätig sind
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Far-sighted strategies support jobs in the health sector, is the guiding principle of the project. With this in mind, thanks to cooperation between education experts, specialists in psychological preventive measures, social scientists, workforces and managements of enterprises and organizations engaged in health care and care for the elderly, educational building blocks should be established which can then be applied to the training and further training of personnel engaged in care for the sick and elderly. To ensure that these building blocks conform exactly to the project concept, surveys should first be conducted among the managements and employees of companies and organizations engaged in care for the sick and elderly. The results of these surveys should be evaluated and, on the one hand, transposed to training modules for the above purposes and tested with the project partners, and on the other hand should generate recommendations for the political and legislative sphere. What is new here is that employment conditions in various European countries are taken into account, ensuring a broad satisfaction of the actual needs of persons specifically affected. The desired cooperation between employees and their managements could also result in a model procedure for finding solutions to the question of healthy working conditions in a sector where the health quality of jobs requires improvement. Such a procedure could be applied to other sectors and could indicate to the social partners ways and means of creating jobs with healthy working conditions. First of all, the needs of employees shall be surveyed and evaluated by regional partners in collaboration with three KMU’s in each area and during international workshops, which will collate the results. The evaluation will provide recommendations for the enterprises involved, which will then offer additional vocational training to employees in the health sector. Consequently, training measures for employees in the health sector shall be implemented during the project and, in a subsequent test phase, their results shall be assessed and it shall be decided which of these results can serve as a European recommendation” and which regional characteristics should be taken into account in the partner countries. We assume that these results, already being evaluated under the project as a curricular recommendation in cooperation with the school of nursing at the workers charitable institution in Heinsberg, will provide recommendations for initial training in the health and care for the elderly sectors. Apart from personnel-rated outputs suggestions for structural improvements for enterprises in the health sector will be considered as suggestions for talks with the political sphere and for social dialogue with partners. Here too, the specific characteristics of each country should be identified and considered separately.
