Darbo sąlygos ir tvarus darbas

Darbo sąlygos ir tvarus darbas yra tarp šešių pagrindinių 2021–2024 m. EUROFOUND darbo programos veiklų. EUROFOUND ir toliau vykdys veiklą kaip šios srities pokyčių stebėsenos ir analizės centras, įskaitant pokyčius, susijusius su dėl COVID-19 krizės kintančiomis darbo sąlygomis ir darbo kokybe, taip pat darbo organizavimu.

2021–2024 m. laikotarpiu EUROFOUND pateiks svarbias įžvalgas dėl iššūkių ir perspektyvų, susijusių su darbo sąlygomis ir tvariu darbu ES. Remdamasis savo ilgalaike patirtimi šioje srityje, EUROFOUND, atsižvelgdamas į esamas tendencijas ir vykstančią pažangą, nustatys atsiradusias problemas, susijusias su darbo sąlygomis ir darbo kokybe. Bus analizuojamos įvairios šalys, sektoriai, profesijos ir darbuotojų grupės tokiais aspektais kaip darbo organizavimas ir nuotolinis darbasdarbo laikas, pusiausvyra tarp darbo laiko ir asmeninio gyvenimolygybės principasdarbuotojų sveikata ir gerovėgebėjimai ir mokymaspajamos ir perspektyvospasitenkinimas darbu Daugiau dėmesio bus skiriama nestandartinėms užimtumo formoms, o ypač savarankiškai veiklai.

Atsižvelgiant į ES demografines senėjančios visuomenės problemas bei išaugusią darbo pobūdžio įvairovę, EUROFOUND ir toliau analizuos veiksnius, kurie leidžia darbuotojams ilgiau išlikti darbo rinkoje. Taip pat bus skiriama dėmesio darbo vietų kokybės gerinimui, nes tai paskatintų aktyvesnį dalyvavimą darbo rinkoje bei padidintų darbuotojų motyvaciją, prisidedant prie tvaraus darbo kūrimo visą gyvenimą.

Sąsajos tarp darbo ir sveikatos bus nagrinėjamos aktyviai konsultuojantis su Europos darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos agentūra (EU-OSHA). EUROFOUND tikslas yra toliau tęsti bendradarbiavimą su Tarptautine darbo organizacija (TDO) dėl darbo ir darbo sąlygų ateityje pasauliniu lygmeniu.

„Iš esmės tai geros naujienos, nes darbo sąlygos Europos Sąjungoje gerėja (nors ir labai lėtai), tačiau susirūpinimą kelia tai, kad sąlygos gerėja ne visoms darbuotojų grupėms. Tai stipriai priklauso nuo to, kuriame sektoriuje dirbate, nuo įgyto išsilavinimo lygio ir, tiesą sakant, tai taip pat priklauso nuo to, ar esate vyras ar moteris.“

Barbara Gerstenberger, Profesinės veiklos skyriaus vadovė

Pagrindinės politinės išvados

Infografikas 2021

Pagrindinės EUROFOUND tyrimo išvados leidžia politikos formuotojams priimti sprendimus dėl svarbiausių šios srities klausimų.

  • Darbo sąlygų gerinimas labai svarbus darbuotojams ir darbdaviams. Reikia įvertinti daugelį įvairių darbo vietos kokybės aspektų. Kokybiškos darbo vietos suteikia žmonėms galimybę ilgiau ir geriau dirbti, o tai padeda užtikrinti tvarų darbą ir teigiamą profesinio ir asmeninio gyvenimo pusiausvyrą.
  • Darbo sąlygos ES iš esmės gerėja, nors pažanga vyksta laipsniškai. Kai kurioms darbuotojų grupėms pažanga nebuvo tokia sparti: tai priklauso nuo darbo sutarties, sektoriaus bei pasiekto išsilavinimo lygio.
  • Yra daug būdų kaip pagerinti darbo sąlygas ir darbo vietos kokybę ES. Vyriausybėms neabejotinai tenka svarbus vaidmuo kuriant tinkamą reglamentavimo sistemą. Tačiau darbuotojų ir darbdavių bei jų organizacijų indėlis taip pat svarbus. Daugeliu darbo vietos kokybės parametrų atžvilgiu svarbiausi pokyčiai vyksta būtent darbo aplinkoje.
  • Tiktai vienam penktadaliui Europos bendrovių pavyko sėkmingai suderinti darbuotojo gerovę ir veiklos rezultatus. Didelės investicijos į darbuotojus ir aktyvus jų įtraukimas į veiklą yra geriausias sprendimas darbuotojams ir darbdaviams, nes užtikrinant didesnį darbuotojų savarankiškumą, labiau įtraukiant juos į veiklą bei skatinant gebėjimų ugdymą ir mokymąsi, gerėja veiklos rezultatai ir darbo kokybė.
  • Daugelis žmonių, ypač tėvai ir kiti globėjai, turi dėti daug pastangų, kad suderintų savo darbinius ir nedarbinius įsipareigojimus. Lankstus darbo grafikas galėtų padėti išspręsti šiuos sunkumus, tačiau tai taip pat kelia tam tikrų iššūkių. Pavyzdžiui, nuotolinis darbas suteikia daugiau laisvės pasirinkti, kada ir kur dirbti, tačiau dėl to darbas gali tapti intensyvesnis ir ilgiau užsitęsti, sunkiau atsijungti nuo darbo.
  • Per COVID-19 pandemiją padidėjus nuotolinio darbo mastui išryškėjo atotrūkio tarp darbo ir asmeninio gyvenimo nebuvimas. Daugelis vyriausybių ir socialinių partnerių aptaria „teisės atsijungti“ iniciatyvas, kad didelei daliai darbuotojų nekiltų fizinio ir emocinio išsekimo pavojus.
  • Ateityje socialiniai partneriai turi siekti į bet kokias teisines sistemas ar susitarimus įtraukti darbuotojams skirtas nuostatas dėl savanoriško nuotolinio darbo pobūdžio arba dėl konkrečių užduočių tinkamumo nuotoliniam darbui. Taip pat bus labai svarbu išaiškinti, kaip darbdaviai gali prisidėti prie išlaidų, susijusių su darbu namuose, padengimo, taip pat užtikrinti vienodą darbo užmokestį ir galimybę mokytis nuotoliniu būdu dirbantiems asmenims.

2021–2024 work plan

During 2021–2024, Eurofound will provide important insights into the challenges and prospects related to working conditions and sustainable work in the EU. Building on long-established expertise in this area, Eurofound will look at trends and progress over time and identify emerging concerns around working conditions and job quality. The analysis will cover different countries, sectors, occupations and groups of workers on issues such as work organisation and teleworkingworking timework–life balanceequal treatmentworkplace health and well-beingskills and trainingearnings and prospects, and job satisfaction. Non-standard forms of employment will be a specific focus, particularly self-employment.

In light of the EU’s demographic challenge of an ageing population and the increasing diversity of working life, Eurofound will continue to explore the factors enabling more workers to stay in employment longer. It will also put the spotlight on improving job quality as an enabler of greater labour market participation and increased employee motivation, contributing to sustainable work over the life course.

The links between work and health will be investigated in close consultation with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). Eurofound aims to build on its collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) on issues around the future of work and working conditions at global level.

Addressing stakeholder priorities

Eurofound’s research aims to assist policy action to improve working conditions and job quality, while progressing towards sustainable work, helping to address the challenges facing the EU and national levels in the areas of work and employment. It focuses on identifying pressing issues and specific groups at risk and analysing selected elements.

The Agency’s work plan is aligned with the European Commission’s political guidelines over the next four years, directly feeding into a number of key policy areas aimed at creating a robust social Europe. In particular, Eurofound’s research will support policy initiatives under the European Pillar of Social Rights in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis and activities linked to, among other initiatives, the European Gender Equality Strategy 2020–2025, the reinforced Youth Guarantee, the Youth Employment Support package, the skills agenda, as well as innovation and job creation and the European Commission’s proposal for adequate minimum wages in the EU.

Eurofound research

Eurofound continues to monitor developments in working conditions, with a particular focus on improvements in the job quality of older workers, the challenges associated with specific types of self-employment and the longer-term structural impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In 2024, fieldwork commences for the newest edition of the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), which includes questions on working conditions and work–life outcomes relevant to the aftermath of COVID-19. The first results are planned for the end of 2024. 

Final analysis of data from the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey 2021 (EWCTS) feeds into three studies in 2024: an analysis of working conditions and work practices in the hybrid workplace; an investigation of changing working time patterns; and an examination of the job quality of older workers.

Research commences on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe, examining levels of digitalisation, digital skills, innovation and training strategies. This research assesses how workers in SMEs compare to the average in terms of working conditions, job quality, digital skills and take-up of training. 

Research in 2024 also aims to identify the most vulnerable group of workers by examining employment relationships that combine several unfavourable characteristics. The research investigates the job quality of workers in these employment relationships, their access to social protection and training, as well as ways to support the transition to more secure forms of employment.
