Working Environment

The party programme states that society should take greater responsibility for ensuring that workplaces in welfare have good working conditions and wages, which is precisely what the counter-proposal demands of the state. The election manifesto links staff turnover to resource shortages and demands investments in staff and their working environment. The plan furthermore emphasizes particularly the female-dominated welfare professions, which have long been pressured hard.

The election manifesto confirms that working conditions in welfare must reflect how central the jobs are, that supervision of staff's occupational environment must be improved, and that state funding to municipalities and regions shall continue to increase. Greater state responsibility for occupational environment and working conditions in welfare professions, with economic incentives and education investment, is exactly this policy. The party programme makes the same demands for good working conditions in jointly financed activities.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to raise wages and secure a good working environment in healthcare and to raise wages in female-dominated professions to levels corresponding to male-dominated professions. The party programme gives everyone the right to a good physical and psychosocial working environment and demands adequate staff-to-patient ratios. Greater state responsibility for working conditions and the work environment in welfare professions is precisely what the plan calls for.

• good working environment in healthcaredecisive»höja lönerna och säkra en god arbetsmiljö i vården.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise wages and secure a good working environment in healthcare.”
• equal wages»höja lönerna i kvinnodominerade yrken till samma nivåer som i mansdominerade yrken med motsvarande ansvar och utbildningskrav.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise wages in female-dominated professions to the same levels as in male-dominated professions with corresponding responsibility and education requirements.”
• right to good working environment»god fysisk och psykosocial arbetsmiljö.« (party programme ↗)“good physical and psychosocial working environment.”
• adequate staffing»Personaltätheten måste hålla tillräcklig nivå så att« (party programme ↗)“Staff-to-patient ratios must maintain adequate levels so that”

The plan makes working conditions in care a main issue and itself proposes national measures such as mandatory leadership training, smaller work groups and the right to skills development. The counter-proposal's demand for greater state responsibility with financial incentives and educational investments aligns with this. The plan wants the labour market parties to set the rules, which limits how far state guidance should go.

• better working conditions in welfaredecisive»Vi vill uppvärdera statusen för kvinnodominerande yrken och förbättra arbetsvillkoren inom offentlig sektor, bland annat genom karriärtjänster och rätt till kompetensutveckling.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to raise the status of female-dominated professions and improve working conditions in the public sector, including through career positions and the right to skills development.”
• national requirements for leadership»Därför vill vi införa en obligatorisk utbildning för alla som får en chefstjänst i vård och omsorg, och skapa mindre arbetsgrupper med ett mål om max 25 medarbetare per chef.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore, we want to introduce mandatory training for everyone who gets a management position in care, and create smaller work groups with a goal of maximum 25 staff per manager.”
• working conditions as priority»Att förbättra arbetsvillkoren i vård och omsorg leder inte bara till bättre resultat utan ökar också möjligheterna för vårdpersonal att känna stolthet och utvecklas i sin yrkesroll.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improving working conditions in care not only leads to better results but also increases the opportunities for care staff to feel pride and develop in their professional role.”
• the parties model»Det skapar en flexibel och långsiktigt hållbar arbetsmarknad och flyttar makten närmare dem som berörs.« (party programme ↗)“It creates a flexible and long-term sustainable labour market and moves power closer to those affected.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires that those who work in healthcare be met with good working conditions, more colleagues and good wage development, and that the state takes greater responsibility for healthcare's long-term competence supply. Greater state responsibility for working conditions in welfare professions follows from that commitment. The plan, however, simultaneously wants to reduce detailed management of activities, which limits how the management should be designed.

• good working conditions in healthcaredecisive»För att klara det måste de som arbetar inom vården mötas av goda arbetsvillkor, fler kollegor och bra löneutveckling.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To manage that those who work in healthcare must be met with good working conditions, more colleagues and good wage development.”
• state responsibility for competence supply»Staten ska ta ett större ansvar för sjukvårdens strategiska planering, placering av högspecialiserad vård, beredskap och långsiktig kompetensförsörjning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state shall take greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning, placement of highly specialized care, preparedness and long-term competence supply.”

• reduced detailed management»Samtidigt ska detaljstyrningen och byråkratin minska i verksamheterna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time detailed management and bureaucracy shall decrease in activities.”

The election manifesto requires improved conditions for staff in elderly care with split shifts removed and better conditions in healthcare shortage occupations. It also wants to move the principal responsibility for healthcare to the state, which is a greater state responsibility of the kind the counter-proposal seeks. The plan's principle that labour market parties design the conditions, however, sets a limit on how far state control can go.

• better conditions in elderly caredecisive»Förbättrade villkor för personalen i äldreomsorgen - bort med delade turer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improved conditions for staff in elderly care – away with split shifts.”
• state principal responsibility for healthcare»Avskaffa regionernas ansvar för sjukvården. Låt staten ta över ansvaret för vården med en gemensam organisation i stället för 21 olika.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the regions' responsibility for health care. Let the state take over responsibility for health care with a single organisation instead of 21 different ones.”
• training and better conditions»Utbilda mer personal för sjukvården. Förbättrade villkor i vårdens bristyrken och minska behovet av dyr inhyrd personal.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Train more staff for healthcare. Improved conditions in healthcare shortage occupations and reduce the need for expensive hired staff.”

The plan makes concrete national commitments on working conditions in welfare: to reduce split shifts in public care and social services, reduce involuntary part-time work and improve the work environment for healthcare staff. The counter-proposal's demand for state responsibility for working environment and working conditions in welfare professions, with support and training initiatives, coincides in substance with these commitments.

• bättre arbetsvillkor i omsorgendecisive»Minska förekomsten av delade turer i offentlig vård och omsorg« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce the occurrence of split shifts in public care and social services”
• förbättrad arbetsmiljö i vården»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning – det behövs fler händer i vården som kan korta vårdköerna och avlasta personalen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen healthcare staff, among other things by improving the work environment and opportunities for further training - more hands are needed in care to shorten waiting times and relieve staff”
• minskat ofrivilligt deltidsarbete»Minska det ofrivilliga deltidsarbetet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce involuntary part-time work”

The plan wants to improve status, working conditions and occupational health in female-dominated welfare professions, abolish split shifts and review shiftwork in care and nursing. It furthermore opens for the state to a greater extent to take over main responsibility for healthcare. A greater state responsibility for the working environment in welfare professions with support and education investments thus follows from these commitments.
