08 Feb, 2012
The Smart Work Association (SWA) is an organisation that brings together all smart work knowhow in Estonia and offers various support services to parties interested in implementing smart working.
Their mission is to promote smart work in Estonia so that people can choose their preferred work arrangement and work place, increase the productivity of businesses by way of flexible work arrangements, help risk groups enter the labour market and retain talents who prefer working flexibly, and to help generate more livelihoods in rural communities.
Fields of activity are training and consultation to employers and employees, supporting and organising a network of telework/smart work centres and promotion of flexible work forms. SWA has various regional cooperation partners all around Estonia.
- Information service –one of the Association’s most important tasks is to provide information and spread knowledge on smart work-related topics. We write and publish articles, and organise seminars and other public events.
- Training and consultation– consulting employers and employees on setting up smart work arrangements is a continuously developing service of the Association. We collect good examples and best practices, as well as lessons on where and why things have gone wrong in the past.
- Supporting (tele)work centres – the Association offers assistance and consultations to local governments and entrepreneurs in creating local work and training centres.
