A central idea is that the local manager and employee representatives are trained in conducting cooperative, participative workplace innovations that are rooted in the needs and primary tasks of the institution.
The intervention study is conducted in 64 municipal day-care institutions with children aged 0-6 years. The main inclusion criteria are the average short-term sickness absence and the size of the institution. The surveys included 1.370 skilled preschool teachers and teaching assistants and 2.644 parents. Qualitative studies will be conducted in four strategically selected institutions. In addition, qualitative and quantitative implementation process studies have been performed with key actors.
The main analyses focus on consequences for sickness absence, wellbeing
and service quality, whereas detailed analyses focus
on learning and effects of specific initiatives.
