The workplace

Chapter 8 in The Elgar Companion to Decent Work and the Sustainable Development Goals, 2025, pp 104-115 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Decent work and decent workplaces are the key determinants of sustainable workforce. They play a vital role in reducing organisations’ attrition rate and preventing employee burn-out. However, the notion of decent work is incomplete without any discussion on the working conditions and place of work. A decent workplace provides decent working conditions to its workers. The reverse is not necessarily true. Regulations aim to ensure that workplaces meet the health, safety and welfare needs of all members. The chapter discusses the heterogeneity of primary workplace, co-working space, hybrid, remote, workstation, telework, home work and home-based workplace. Indicators of decent workplace have also been discussed. Decent workplaces also have long-term linkages with decent work and well-being. Creation of decent workplace is directly associated with creation of decent work opportunities for workers. Decent workplace provides the necessary infrastructure and settings conducive for decent work provision.
