Description
Analysis of the social sector system as regards social dialogue and the level of decent work conditions and transfer of Norwegian best practice
The project will improve decent working conditions in the social services sector , which is an important sector with a high number of employees, including many women. The Covid pandemic revealed more than ever the crucial role of these workers, and amplified the need for improving working conditions in the sector.
Together with the Norwegian partner SINTEF, the project promoter will analyse the social sector system with regard to social dialogue and the level of decent work conditions (labour legislation, gender and equal opportunities, reconciliation of private and working life, employment benefits, safety and working conditions), based on Norwegian know-how and good practice.
Key activities include:
- an analysis of the Czech system, working conditions and environment to identify the needs of social partners and workers in the social sector system, in cooperation with SINTEF.
- a study visit of 3 representatives of social partners organised by SINTEF to study good practice of decent work in the social sector in Norway.
- develop and test a one-day training programme for Czech employers , which will support the enforcement of national decent work regulations and include awareness raising activities for 20 participants.
- a final conference for 100+ participants and SINTEF experts will be held in Prague in early 2024 to present outputs and the training programme.
- awareness-raising activities (website, info videos, interviews, print publications, etc.) for the target group (social service professionals, employers, public administration) and the wider public.
In addition to the formal partner SINTEF, two other organisations, Association of Social Services Providers of the Czech Republic and European Ageing Network, are involved in the development and implementation of the project.
