Work environment
In episode 28 of Almegapodden we break down the essentials of the Swedish work environment regulations for our English-speaking audience. What they mean, why they matter and how they shape everyday working life.
Work environment is well cared for in the Swedish law. The lawmakers have made a point of the fact that employers have to make sure that the work environment is sound for employees. How can we understand this?
Our two guests, Christine Sorselius and Lina Cronebäck, are legal advisors, experts in labour law, and give day-to-day service and advice to our member companies.
– The work environment legislation in Sweden is all about prevention and well being. The cornerstone is the Work Environment Act, which sets out that every employer must create a safe, a healthy and an inclusive workplace. And this is a framework law. It focuses on prevention, collaboration and adapting work to the specific individual, says Lina Cronebäck.
