In a diagnostic study carried out for the design of the Àncora Project, it was revealed that a sector of the workforce in the la Safor region finds itself in a dynamic constant of joining and leaving the labour market. Some of the difficulties of remaining in employment were consequently revealed. Those in this sector are:
- people over 45
- immigrants
- women with dependants
- people with disabilities
- In general workers with unstable work situations
The results of the fieldwork obtained from this study indicate 2 main reasons why these groups find it difficult to renew their job contracts;
Reasons relating to the economic sectors in general, and in particular to the structural sectors within the company.
Reasons due to subjective factors, such as employee/employer relations:
- In regards to the employee: a lack of job flexibility, a lack of training, an incompatibility with work hours and family life, a lack of motivation etc.
- In regards to the company: the assignment of physically and professionally inadequate jobs to the employee, inadequate human resource management, poor awareness of its role as an ambassador for the improvement of society, etc.
The Àncora Project addresses this second reason, tackling the problems from three angles and whose fundamental objectives are:
OBJECTIVE 1
To promote the job quality and security of those who work but are threatened by exclusion from the labour market.
OBJECTIVE 2
To promote the social responsibilities that companies have towards Human Resource management and, above all, towards the employees who may find themselves involved in situations resulting in job loss.
OBJECTIVE 3
To promote public-private cooperation procedures regarding the compromise of family and work life for the benefit of job security, especially in the case of women.
