Yet the significance of Goal 8 and other goals of the United Nations is receiving less attention in Africa.

PT XYZ is engaged in the garment manufacturing industry and has become a garment manufacturing company with exports to five continents with modern manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia. In the current condition of PT XYZ, there are still vulnerable and risky areas with the potential for work accidents. This prone and risky condition can be seen in the work environment where there are still scattered items, a low level of security, insufficient lighting, insufficient air ventilation, inadequate hand tools for workers, or the way employees lift materials where employees still make bending and twisting movements that are harmful to employee’s health. Based on the book “Ergonomic Checkpoints: Practical and Easy-to-Implement Solutions for Improving Safety, Health, and Working Conditions” published by the International Labour Organization and the International Energy Agency, this study uses observation and interviews to collect data, using 132 ergonomic checklist questions and provides improvement recommendations. From the research 15 points still need to be done correctly, so they are prioritized for improvement. Recommended improvements include creating two-way lanes in the production unit to facilitate worker mobility and other recommendations.

The nature of work is certainly changing, but from a historical perspective this is not new. The rate of change is faster today, and change is the rule not just an exception over time. This paper shows that an Internet-based business model is becoming more common, and this does not mean the end of organizational employment relationships, but supports the need for greater flexibility of jobs and workers. The study of work and employment, as well as the variability of wider environmental and contextual changes in the nature of paid work and employment relations, are relevant to the functioning of a modern economy. Providing an overview of key trends can help to understand the nature of labor relations in the modern economy. The paper presents examples of both change and continuity in the field of work relations.

The friendship between co-workers, it promotes teamwork, communication and cooperation. Workplace friendships were associated with many positive outcomes, such as increased job satisfaction, job participation, job performance, team cohesion, and organizational commitment. Therefore, interaction and participation among the members of the work group is one of the most important sources of institution success.The importance of designing teamwork spaces is because work activities are no longer seen as a collection of isolated independent actions, but as a complex alliance of human behavior and environmental resources. The workspace is no longer simply the site of cooperative activity but is, in fact, an essential part of that same collaboration. Work groups in harmony and cooperation with each other increase performance and increase productivity, in terms of quantity and quality. It has emerged that the nature of cooperation is making a wide shift towards small-unplanned informal meetings and away from lengthy formal interactions, which has a great influence on the design of these spaces. The research problem lies in the extent of the impact of the interior design of the work group spaces on cooperation, participation and innovation, and the impact of this on increasing productivity and work efficiency. The research aims to define the criteria that must be applied when designing and planning work group spaces of all kinds, formal and informal. The research discusses the nature of a work group, its characteristics and types, the advantages and disadvantages resulting from the formation of these groups and their impact on productivity and work efficiency. Then discussing the characteristics of the spaces of the group and the types of spaces suitable for each group, as well as the human needs of the work group within the work environment, and the research reached methods for planning, organizing and criteria for the success of the work group spaces to achieve successful and high efficiency collective spaces. The descriptive and analytical approach were used as a criterion to confirm the role of interior design for group spaces, which increases productivity and increases work efficiency.

The professional practice of accounting, auditing and management in transnational organizations called Big Four presents complex work environments and high demand for technical skills, building competitive environments among their employees. This article aims to critically reflect on the conditions and factors that shape the work environment that is generated within these organizations, discussing the positions of employees with different academic perspectives. Methodologically, the article is based on a qualitative research process, leading reflection through discussions on human management in organizations, labor exploitation, organizational behavior, work motivation and the role of millennials in contemporary forms of work. The findings indicate that the work environment in the Big Four does not represent a positive result in the cost-benefit relationship, since the conditions of work stress prone to burnout syndrome and progressive rejection of accounting processes are prevalent, generating a bifurcation between its employees : 1) an irrational love for the company on account of dedicating their lives to organizational development, or; 2) a totalitarian rejection of the work scheme, valuing the techniques learned

This research note explores the trial of a training tool, called © Trans-faire. The objective behind the creation of this training tool is to enhance the capacity of social delegates of the FTQ (Quebec Federation of Labour) to act as peer helpers, a program begun by the FTQ in 1983 in response to growing workplace psychological problems which have been made significantly worse by the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is part of our 10 year long longitudinal study of the FTQ’s approach to developing mutual aid between workers. This latest data collection was undertaken during the pandemic and aimed to identify the training needs of social delegates. It examined the way they saw their role, the strategies required to carry out their mission, and their motivation for self-learning. To do so, we held two discussion groups and conducted thirteen semi-directed interviews. We were able to identify their motives, strategies and self-study objectives. Given the new urgency brought on by Covid, the social delegates were able to develop rapid responses to topical problems and new situations. We found their self-study motives to be related to issues of identity and workplace operations. The knowledge they developed through experience and action are an invaluable source of learning, innovation and points of debate between actors within a workplace community which Trans-faire seeks to expand.
