The best practices we share are a compilation of best practices and lessons learnt from iterations of the programme and the peer to peer network. We will continue to share new best practices, cases and studies during the programme.
The Swedish Workplace Programme (SWP) is centred around addressing three strategic areas: Decent Work, Sustainable Business and Partnerships. Each of these areas include a wide variety of key themes important to any company who wants to ensure their policies are instilled in the company culture and are being used to fulfill their objectives towards Agenda 2030. These themes include skills development, gender equality, occupational health & safety, as well as diversity and inclusion.
Diversity and inclusion
The benefits of diversity in the workplace include higher revenue, more innovation, better decision making, higher rates of job acceptance and better performance. Diversity in the workplace does not necessarily mean it is an inclusive environment. Making diversity a priority is important, but the next logical step is creating a culture where people from all backgrounds feel included. Inclusivity is key for maintaining (not just creating) diversity in the workplace.
Dialogue and cooperation
The main goal of dialogues in the workplace is to promote consensus building and democratic involvement among the main stakeholders in the world of work. Successful dialogue structures and processes have the potential to resolve important economic and social issues, encourage good governance by supporting the implementation of policies to practice, and boost economic progress.
Business cases
The Business Case section serves as a source of inspiration and wealth of knowledge for our current and future partnering companies. Discover and learn more about the employee driven initiatives and the impact they have had in the workplace as a result of the SWP Approach.
