The developmental work

In the 1990s, the concept of Developmental Work (DW) has shifted the focus of Danish labor market attention from wages and working time toward work and production. For employees, DW promises a range of possibilities both for improving the working environment and for their involvement in strategic decisions, as well as aspects associated with the social responsibility of the firm. For firms, DW promises increased competitiveness and improved products. In this article we present the concept of DW as one that encourages the development of flexible production and furthers democracy at work.
