Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Lavoro, Cafà (Cifa): "Flessibilità importante ma fuori da perimetro rischia di creare precariato"

(Adnkronos) - Il lavoro flessibile è stato al centro del panel 'Il lavoro flessibile dalla precarietà lavorativa alla precarietà di vita' è stato al centro di un panel che si è svolto al Festival del lavoro. "Oggi - ha detto Andrea Cafà, presidente del Fondo interprofessionale Fonarcom e dell'Associazione di imprese Cifa Italia - abbiamo parlato della flessibilità come un valore. La flessibilità è importante per la gente e per il lavoratore, però deve stare all'interno di un determinato perimetro. Fuori da questo perimetro la flessibilità rischia di creare precariato. Rispetto al precariato io penso che il ruolo della bilateralità sia fondamentale, perché solo attraverso la bilateralità possiamo costruire quelle infrastrutture di protezione sociale che possano da un lato permettere la flessibilità alle aziende e dall'altro il tutele che il lavoratore merita. Quindi la bilateralità potrebbe generare dei voucher per coloro che si trovano in uno stato di uscita dal rapporto di lavoro flessibile".

Work, Cafà (Cifa): “Flexibility is important but being outside the perimeter risks creating precariousness.”

(Adnkronos) - Flexible work was at the center of the panel 'Flexible Work from Labor Precariousness to Life Precariousness,' which took place at the Work Festival. “Today – said Andrea Cafà, president of the interprofessional fund Fonarcom and the business association Cifa Italia – we talked about flexibility as a value. Flexibility is important for people and workers, but it must be within a certain perimeter. Outside of this perimeter, flexibility risks creating precariousness. Compared to precariousness, I believe that the role of bipartite agreements [bilateralism] is fundamental, because only through bipartite agreements can we build the social protection infrastructure that on the one hand allows flexibility for companies and on the other provides the worker with the protection they deserve. Therefore, bipartite agreements could generate vouchers for those who find themselves in a state of exit from flexible employment relationships.”

"Most companies treat employees as a cost to be managed rather than customers who choose how much of their personal energy and effort to bring to work every day"

If only managers / leaders would pay more attention to employees' needs & wants AND try to meet them along the way, right?
