Working Conditions
In today's world the reorganisation of work is a vital concern. It affects the economic prospects of business, the working conditions of employees as well as their standards of living, the relationships at work and the development of society as a whole.
P&MS occupy a position at the heart of the organisation of work. They have the task of preparing and implementing change. They need personal autonomy, scope for taking initiatives and resources for sufficient time to achieve objectives. They are concerned with both their own working conditions and the effects of their professional activities on the work of others. The changing process must be driven by investment in people rather than by global insecurity.
Working time, workload, working conditions are key issues related to the organisation of work.
