Innovation

Company X is one of the largest and most successful commercial grocery retailing chains in south-eastern Europe (Euromonitor, 2011). It was established over 60 years ago in Ljubljana, Slovenia. A study by Fortune magazine (2011) shows that world’s top retailers are making employees’ health and happiness a priority. With its recent innovations - certification as a ‘Family-Friendly Company’ and the Health Promotion project discussed in this case study - Company X is trying to follow this trend. Company X’s HR strategy is developed at corporate level but it is adapted according to local needs and is revised every four years.

Work organisation and innovation

Innovations in work organisation have the potential to optimise production processes in companies and improve employees’ overall experience of work. This report explores the links between innovations in work organisation – under the broader label of high performance work practices (HPWPs) – and the potential benefits for both employees and organisations. It draws on empirical evidence from case studies carried out in 13 Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, UK) of the European Union where workplace innovations have resulted in positive outcomes.
A report on Work organisation and innovation in Ireland, based on 3 additional company cases, was published in 2013.
