Towards social partnership: Trends in Norwegian workplace development programs

The article presents the most recent workplace development program in Norway, called Value Creation 2010. With the notion of broad employee participation on enterprise level at its core, the program aims at creating and sustaining learning networks between enterprises and at strengthening regional and branch-based coalitions between private and public actors. The program is a joint creation of research, a public development fund and the labor market parties and reflects the idea of social partnership.
