Note:
“The European Workplace Innovation Network
(EUWIN, 1 MB) is a Europe-wide learning network launched to improve the performance of organisations and the quality of jobs in a sustainable way.
The network:
- distributes evidence on the benefits of modernising the workplace and working conditions
- focuses on awareness-raising via dedicated regional workshops and social media
- provides a valuable resource for managers and employee representatives through the Knowledge Bank
- is open to practitioners, social partners, policymakers, representatives of intermediary organisations, and others with an interest in the workplace.”
(http://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/innovation/policy/workplace/index_en.htm)
EUWIN works closely with European enterprises, policymakers, social partners and researchers to stimulate and support ways of working which lead to high performance and high quality of working life. EUWIN’s Knowledge Bank includes a unique range of films, case studies, articles and tools. It’s free to join and you can do so here.
Currently with over 1.000 ambassadors all over Europe, EUWIN entered recently in its fourth year of operation. Portugal is represented with one member in the Advisory Board, Irina Saur-Amaral, and hosted a first EUWIN event in May 2014, at the first edition of ICIEMC, in Aveiro, where professionals, academics and policy-makers gathered to debate the potential of workplace innovation in Portugal.
