“A poor working environment makes women sick”
“the Stress and heavy lifting is no news.”
“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”
“In december drew the national audit office started an examination of gender differences in sickness absence. Riksrevisorerna have noted that women are on sick leave for almost twice as much as men. The difference has also increased since the 1980s.”
“yesterday, the Swedish work environment authority that the authority is conducting a major investment in the working environment in elderly care. The national supervision started in 2017 and so far, the work inspectors made over 1,200 visits to 760 jobs.”
“On almost 90 percent of the visited workplaces, inspectors issued a demand for improvements. All in all, it is about approximately 3 500 observations about the things that need to be addressed.”
“the Major flaws in the work environment.”
“It is, for example, about the shortcomings when it comes to systematic and preventive work, but also about the organization, resources and load. Those working in elderly care are not getting the training they would need, or the help to prioritize which are necessary for the job is not going to burn out the staff.”
“none of that is reasonably no surprise. Employees in welfare has repeatedly sounded the alarm about stress, lack of resources and heavy duties. They have told us how they are torn between the responsibility for vårdnadstagarna, colleagues, and themselves.”
“It is just the stories of the Swedish work environment authority now is to put numbers on.”
“it’s Affecting not just the staff.”
“Ultimately to the detriment of the poor working environment is not only the staff, but also the elderly people who need care.”
“Hopefully, the requirements arbetsmiljöinspektörerna sets contribute to a more reasonable everyday life for the employees and a better life for the elderly. But it will require resources in the municipalities. It should be the most important political mission.”
“the national audit office has promised to report on women’s sick leave shall be finished in april. However, we can already conclude that the poor working environment – for example, in the care of the elderly – is a major reason that many women are forced to have sick leave.”
