A sustainable European workforce has become increasingly relevant
in our present day and age. Flexibility and job insecurity are
omnipresent; organizational workforces are displaying growing
diversity with respect to age, gender, ethnicity and family status;
and Europe's welfare states are delegating more and more
responsibility for the well-being of workers to employers. Now more
so than ever, organizations need to consider investing in workers
to improve their performance and level of satisfaction. These
investments can take many forms, including flexible work
arrangements, training plans, child-related policies and health
programs. The crucial question is how to make this happen. Why do
some organizations invest more and others less in their employees?
Why do some employees make use of these investments and while
others do not? Why do such investments sometimes improve employee
performance and satisfaction and sometimes not? This book addresses
precisely these questions. The book contributes a new, large-scale
survey of 259 organizations, 869 work units, and 11,011 employees
in six diverse economic sectors in the Bulgaria, Finland, Germany,
Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and UK to study
the causes and consequences of organizational investments. This
book appeals to undergraduate and postgraduate students,
researchers and lecturers in the fields of Sociology, Business and
Management, and Organizational Studies. It will also be useful for
practitioners of Human Resource Management and others interested in
workforce sustainability.
