Abstract
Project description Reason The COVID-19 crisis can cause many jobs in facility services to change or disappear. Many of these employees fall under the vulnerable groups. It is important to see how they can be supported. Target The project has two objectives: 1. To provide insight into which strategies within facility services can be used to increase the resilience of employees. 2. Provide insight into which jobs within the sector are the most vulnerable and where, based on existing knowledge and skills, there are opportunities for employees. Approach The project uses insights from economics, psychology and sociology to analyze what the labor market situation means for the well-being of employees, which strategies can be used within the sector to increase their resilience, what knowledge and skills they have built up, and what knowledge and skills are needed to increase their employability for new career opportunities.
