Objective
This thematic network addresses the problem of creating and sustaining employment opportunities when new technology is introduced into manufacturing and service industries.
Technology and working practices are changing rapidly, but strategies for dealing with the human resource implications are developing more slowly. The socio-economic costs are increased unemployment and limitations to European competitiveness in the global market.
Drawing on field studies in a wide range of manufacturing and service industries, the network will develop policies for responding to this problem. Our recommendations will include innovatory approaches to human resource development, the design of new technologies themselves and the organisation of work within enterprises.
Exploitation activities will be aimed at five main groups: policy makers at European, regional, national and company levels; the academic community; HRD professionals; trainers and managers in enterprises; and social partners. The main exploitation activities will be: publications; conferences and symposia; dialogue and networking.
The project aims to impact on two of the five major socio-economic challenges identified in TSER: a socially sustainable development, and improving the quality of life in Europe.
