IA Inclusive Working Life

IA (Inclusive Working Life)

In June 2002 Norway Post became the first major Norwegian business to enter into the cooperation agreement known as Inclusive Working Life.

The intentions and objectives of this cooperation agreement are integrated and implemented as a part of Norway Post’s systematic HSE work. The purpose of the agreement on Inclusive Working Life is to formalise the parties’ obligations to work towards an improved working environment, reduced absence due to sickness, inclusion of employees with impaired abilities and prevention of early retirement.

One of Norway Post's most important objectives in this agreement is the reduction of sick leave. Sick leave at Norway Post will be reduced through:

  • The establishment of local management plans for prevention and operative action
  • Focus on dialogue between employees and managers
  • Close cooperation between Norway Post and its most important partners
  • Arrangement of alternative work and solutions
  • Prioritising certain incidences of illness
  • Simplifying the process of active sickness notification
