Citizens in flexjobs after the reform

The number of flexjobs have increased to 59,000 from 51,000 since the reform. 9,000 people are working for just a few hours a week.
Six out of ten flexjob workers are hired by private businesses. 59 percent of them were hired by businesses with fewer than 10 employees in 2013. 64 percent of flexjob workers on short hours were hired by small businesses.
The majority of flexjob workers enjoy their jobs, and have a good relationship with colleagues and management. Most feel their flexjob maintains a good balance between work capacity and work demand.
Flexjob workers whose work capacity matches their physical working demands are more likely to say that they expect to improve their work capacity in the near future. The same applies if they are given the opportunity to use their skills at work, and if they have good relations to both colleagues and management.
The challenge is to secure that flexjob workers’ resources are used in the best possible way.
