    A socially sustainable labor market is characterized by high employment and low unemployment and by utilizing the inherent potential of the labor force. It is a labor market where employers' need for skills are satisfied and where each individual has the opportunity to contribute and develop. One way to contribute to a more socially sustainable labor market is through more efficient recruitment and through more including workplaces. At Boost by FC Rosengård, we work for increased social sustainability by creating the conditions needed for everyone to be able to enter the labor market. We work directly with individuals who are outside the labor market, mainly young adults and foreign-born who have been in Sweden for a short time. Every year, Boost provides support to hundreds of jobseekers so that they can enter the workforce. We collaborate across sectors with both the public and private organizations to contribute to this. Collaboration with private business is done primarily by matching participants from our business with employers who have a recruitment need. However, there are challenges with job seekers who are not ready and therefore are unable to perform in resumes, cover letters and interviews in a way that convinces employers. Unfortunately, all too often we see how participants who start employment only after a short time fall back into unemployment. The transition from unemployment to employment simply becomes too big and difficult. We hear this in our dialogue with employers who testify to the challenges of receiving and retaining people they employ from our business. It requires a longer training period and a more comprehensive supervision than what the employer often expected, or has the knowledge or capacity to offer. This may unfortunately lead employers to seek safer and more traditional routes of recruitment, which is also a loss when one loses the benefits that research shows that more diverse workplaces entail. In industries where the shortage of labor is the greatest and where employers have to seek out and reach new target groups in order to find new employees, this may even be an impossibility. However, we must also see how employers contribute to the problem. Traditional recruitment processes disadvantage individuals with fewer formal skills, and candidates’ chances are affected by their gender and name. Expectations of new employees from target groups who are new to the labor market are sometimes unreasonably high. Supervision support for new employees is lacking, which means that reception can be poor. It is often a matter of a lack of knowledge and capacity on the part of the employer to handle these issues in an efficient manner. As well as working with jobseekers, there are seemingly great benefits in working to provide support to employers in skills and capacity-building initiatives to contribute to more successful recruitments that last over time. In this project we want to investigate how we can contribute to a more socially sustainable labor market. We want to see how we motivate, support and develop capacity in businesses so that they are able to recruit with diversity in mind and provide support to employees who come from target groups with a weaker connection to the labor market. This can be done for example through developing better introduction programs. We also want to examine companies' views and knowledge of issues related to diversity and social sustainability. The project is to be done in collaboration with Swedish Chamber of Industry and Commerce, MKB Fastighets AB, Region Skåne and the Swedish Public Employment Service. Several other companies are planned to be involved during the project. The work will be conducted by gathering experience and knowledge from existing sources, from partners and from other relevant companies and organizations. The material collected in surveys, interviews and more will then be analyzed to see which issues and areas are most relevant to work with in order to create the best results. Finally, ideas for projects that can strengthen social sustainability in the labor market through mainly more effective matches and sustainable transitions will be developed. These ideas will form the basis for applications in the coming European Social Fund program. (Swedish)

    Ein sozial nachhaltiger Arbeitsmarkt zeichnet sich durch hohe Beschäftigung und niedrige Arbeitslosigkeit sowie durch die Nutzung des inhärenten Potenzials der Arbeitskräfte aus. Es ist ein Arbeitsmarkt, in dem der Bedarf der Arbeitgeber an Fähigkeiten erfüllt ist und jeder einzelne die Möglichkeit hat, mitzuwirken und sich zu entwickeln. Eine Möglichkeit, zu einem sozial nachhaltigeren Arbeitsmarkt beizutragen, ist durch effizientere Rekrutierung und mehr Einbeziehung von Arbeitsplätzen. Bei Boost durch den FC Rosengård arbeiten wir für mehr soziale Nachhaltigkeit, indem wir die Voraussetzungen schaffen, die für den Einstieg in den Arbeitsmarkt erforderlich sind. Wir arbeiten direkt mit Personen, die außerhalb des Arbeitsmarktes sind, vor allem junge Erwachsene und im Ausland geborene, die für eine kurze Zeit in Schweden sind. Jedes Jahr unterstützt Boost Hunderte von Arbeitsuchenden, damit sie in die Belegschaft einsteigen können. Wir arbeiten branchenübergreifend mit der öffentlichen und privaten Organisation zusammen, um dazu beizutragen. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Privatunternehmen erfolgt in erster Linie durch die Abstimmung der Teilnehmer aus unserem Unternehmen mit Arbeitgebern, die einen Rekrutierungsbedarf haben. Allerdings gibt es Herausforderungen bei Arbeitsuchenden, die nicht bereit sind und daher nicht in der Lage sind, in den Zusammenfassungen, Anschreiben und Interviews in einer Weise durchzuführen, die Arbeitgeber überzeugt. Leider sehen wir allzu oft, wie Teilnehmer, die erst nach kurzer Zeit eine Beschäftigung beginnen, wieder in die Arbeitslosigkeit zurückfallen. Der Übergang von der Arbeitslosigkeit zur Beschäftigung wird einfach zu groß und schwierig. Wir hören dies in unserem Dialog mit Arbeitgebern, die die Herausforderungen erfüllen, Menschen aus unserem Unternehmen zu empfangen und zu behalten. Sie erfordert eine längere Ausbildungszeit und eine umfassendere Überwachung als das, was der Arbeitgeber oft erwartet hat oder über das Wissen oder die Fähigkeit verfügt, anzubieten. Dies könnte die Arbeitgeber leider dazu veranlassen, sicherere und traditionellere Einstellungswege zu suchen, was auch ein Verlust ist, wenn man die Vorteile verliert, die Forschung zeigt, dass mehr Arbeitsplätze mit sich bringen. In Branchen, in denen der Arbeitskräftemangel am größten ist und in denen Arbeitgeber neue Zielgruppen suchen und erreichen müssen, um neue Mitarbeiter zu finden, kann dies sogar eine Unmöglichkeit sein. Wir müssen aber auch sehen, wie Arbeitgeber zum Problem beitragen. Traditionelle Einstellungsverfahren benachteiligen Personen mit weniger formalen Fähigkeiten, und die Chancen der Bewerber sind von ihrem Geschlecht und ihrem Namen betroffen. Die Erwartungen neuer Mitarbeiter aus Zielgruppen, die auf dem Arbeitsmarkt neu sind, sind manchmal unangemessen hoch. Die Aufsichtsunterstützung für neue Mitarbeiter fehlt, was bedeutet, dass die Aufnahme schlecht sein kann. Es ist oft eine Frage des Mangels an Wissen und Fähigkeit des Arbeitgebers, diese Fragen effizient zu behandeln. Neben der Zusammenarbeit mit Arbeitsuchenden gibt es anscheinend große Vorteile, wenn es darum geht, Arbeitgeber bei den Initiativen zum Aufbau von Kompetenzen und zum Kapazitätsaufbau zu unterstützen, um zu erfolgreicheren Einstellungen beizutragen, die zuletzt im Laufe der Zeit durchgeführt werden. In diesem Projekt wollen wir untersuchen, wie wir zu einem sozial nachhaltigeren Arbeitsmarkt beitragen können. Wir wollen sehen, wie wir die Kapazitäten in Unternehmen motivieren, unterstützen und entwickeln, damit sie in der Lage sind, mit Vielfalt zu rekrutieren und Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter zu unterstützen, die aus Zielgruppen kommen, die eine schwächere Verbindung zum Arbeitsmarkt haben. Dies kann beispielsweise durch die Entwicklung besserer Einführungsprogramme geschehen. Wir wollen auch die Ansichten und Kenntnisse von Unternehmen zu Themen im Zusammenhang mit Vielfalt und sozialer Nachhaltigkeit untersuchen. Das Projekt soll in Zusammenarbeit mit der schwedischen Industrie- und Handelskammer, der MKB Fastighets AB, der Region Skåne und dem schwedischen öffentlichen Arbeitsamt durchgeführt werden. Während des Projekts sind mehrere weitere Unternehmen geplant. Die Arbeit wird durch das Sammeln von Erfahrungen und Wissen aus bestehenden Quellen, von Partnern und anderen relevanten Unternehmen und Organisationen durchgeführt. Das in Umfragen, Interviews und mehr gesammelte Material wird dann analysiert, um zu sehen, mit welchen Themen und Bereichen am wichtigsten zu arbeiten ist, um die besten Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Schließlich werden Ideen für Projekte entwickelt, die die soziale Nachhaltigkeit auf dem Arbeitsmarkt durch vor allem effektivere Matches und nachhaltige Übergänge stärken können. Diese Ideen werden die Grundlage für die Bewerbungen im kommenden Programm des Europäischen Sozialfonds bilden. (German)
