WIE’s team has been at the heart of the workplace innovation movement in Europe since the early 1990s. Created specifically to promote and develop workplace innovation, the team has helped shape and deliver policies and programmes for the European Commission, governments, business support agencies and employers’ organisations in many countries. WIE has also built a unique body of practical experience and resources through work with large and small enterprises, public sector employers and trade unions across Europe and beyond. WIE’s approach combines hard, evidence-based argument with the ability to stimulate and engage diverse business audiences. Its team is highly experienced in working with leading international universities and research institutes to capture and analyse leading practice, and to translate findings into practical tools and learning resources for policymakers, social partners, companies and other key actors. Since 2013 WIE’s team has co-led the European Workplace Innovation Network (EUWIN), established by the European Commission to spread knowledge and awareness of workplace innovation amongst businesses. EUWIN’s Knowledge Bank includes several hundred case studies and articles of value to people leading change, and achieves many thousand hits per month.
