During the period from 1990 to 1995, a large fund for support to development in working life existed in Sweden: the Work Life Fund. Established as a temporary organization, it distributed about 10 billion Swedish crowns for development purposes. By the end of this period, close to 25 000 projects had been launched. The Fund, therefore, presents us with both a large and extensive set of experiences to examine the public support of workplace development. In short, is providing such support a legitimate role for the state and, if the answer is yes, how should it be done? The question is not new, nor are public efforts in support of work life development. With the widespread current discussion over the legitimacy of state action, an examination of the Fund provides us with an empirical base for such discussions and a practical base for developing policy in the area for innovative and high-performance workplaces. |
