As the world changes, working life must also evolve. The program provides support for strengthening the change resilience and foresight capabilities of work communities. 

The WORK2030 program is part of the government program. New operating methods are being developed together with workplaces, industries, and experts, and experiments are encouraged. The program addresses the challenges of developing work communities by sharing best practices, disseminating research-based knowledge, and advancing the development of working life in collaboration with various stakeholders.

Reforming practices and encouraging experimentation can improve Finland’s employment rate, economy, competitiveness, and work life brand.

The Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health implements the WORK2030 programme in cooperation with the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, labor market organizations, and other work life actors. The Finnish Institute of Occupational Health is responsible for the operational implementation of the program. The program is conducted in cooperation with the parliamentary reform of continuous learning.

 
 

Objectives of the WORK2030 programme are:

  • Accelerate the reform of practices and the use of new technology in Finnish workplaces.
  • Foster a work culture based on co-operation and trust.

  • Make Finland a leading developer of work life innovations in the digital age.

  • Make Finland the world leader in well-being at work by 2030.

Services of the WORK2030 programme are:

Management network

The objective of the management network is to build the future of management by promoting management fit for the future, reforming work life and creating opportunities for learning and competence development. The network aims to create interaction, dialogue and understanding between different generations. This means the experiences and successes of people with a longer work history combine with the skills, perspectives and innovations of younger people with a fresh perspective on work life.

Future of Work Discussions

The Future of Work discussion events of the TYÖ2030 program provide up-to-date expert knowledge and practical discussions on the transformation of working life. These events offer research-based insights, tools, and examples on how to develop dialogue within your own work community on various themes related to changes in work.

Themed Discussions tailored for work communities or networks

The Future of Work themed discussions are tailored discussion events for organizations or networks. The theme is chosen together based on specific needs. These events do not provide ready-made answers but promote a culture of collaboration and encourage innovative thinking. The event includes an expert presentation on the selected theme, as well as examples of solutions developed elsewhere to support renewal.

Future Dialogue

The Future Dialogue is a method aimed at enhancing organizations' change resilience and foresight capabilities. Its impact arises both from discussions between stakeholders and from the evolving situational awareness developed through the dialogue. As awareness of the changing operating environment increases, so does the ability to respond effectively to future pressures for change. Through dialogue, it becomes possible to generate ideas and initiate concrete actions to improve well-being and productivity.

When there are no ready-made answers, solutions for well-being and success are found together!
