An overlooked but coordinating actor : A qualitative study of how individuals in an HR-function experience their role of modified work (English)
Abstract [sv]

En stor del av den arbetsföra befolkningen drabbas någon gång under sitt arbetsliv av hälsobesvär. För att möjliggöra ett hållbart arbetsliv finns det lagstadgade krav på arbetsgivaren att genomföra arbetsanpassningar, för att motverka hälsobesvär och för att sjukskrivna medarbetare ska kunna återgå i arbetet. Dock omfattar forskningen sällan HR-funktionen och därför har vi valt att undersöka hur individer i en HR-funktion upplever sin roll vid arbetsanpassning för sjukrivna medarbetare. Studien är avgränsad till att endast omfatta arbetsanpassning vid återgång i arbete. Med en kvalitativ metod har åtta intervjuer genomförts med informanter i en HR-funktion. Resultatet i studien visar att individer i HR-funktionen är en högst delaktig och viktig aktör med en samordnande funktion.

Abstract [en]

A large part of the workforce suffers from health issues at some point during their work life. As a result, there are statutory requirements for the employer to carry out work adjustments, partly to counteract health problems and so that employees on sick leave can return to work. However, research rarely covers the HR-function and therefore we have chosen to investigate how individuals in the HR-function perceives its role when work is modified for employees on sick leave. This study is limited to modified work when an employee on sick leave will return to work. Through a qualitative method were eight interviews conducted with informants in an HR-function. The results of the study show that individuals in an HR-function is a highly involved and important actor with a coordinated function.
