On 23 September the Swedish Government presented its national action plan for the work environment for the years 2010 to 2015, with a vote in parliament due in 2013.
It is Sweden's first national action plan on this issue, and come as a result of the EU's recommendations on the issue of work environments. Several strategic goals are identified in the document which will be presented to the Swedish parliament:
- Risks and opportunities in work environments.
- The work environment as part of the fight against social exclusion.
- Work environments' impact on competition and profitability.
- Increased awareness and knowledge on work environments.
The action plan also highlights the importance of consulting the parties to the labour market.
