Workplace innovation describes working practices that enable people at all levels to use and develop their skills, knowledge and creativity to the fullest possible extent during day-to-day working life.
It is found in workplaces with participative forms of work organisation where there are continuous opportunities for all employees to contribute their ideas for improvement and innovation.
Workplace innovation leads to a high quality of working life as well as high performance. There is a considerable body of evidence to demonstrate that it achieves high performance through employee well-being, health and engagement.
Yet survey results from across Europe show that only a minority of workplaces make full use of these practices, with negative consequences for workers’ health, well-being and quality of working life, as well as for employment growth.
