Social Innovation at Work: Workplace Innovation as a Social Process

What happens in the workplace has enormous social as well as economic implications. Workplace innovation is the process through which “win-win” approaches to work organisation are formulated – good for the sustainable competitiveness of the enterprise and good for the well-being of employees. Workplace innovation is also an inherently social process involving knowledge sharing and dialogue between stakeholders.
