Abstract

This chapter delves into the concept of workplace innovation (WPI) as a strategic process that enhances both organisational performance and job quality. Drawing from the Eurofound study of 51 European companies, it presents three company case examples illustrating the implementation of WPI practices. The chapter discusses the strategic, structural, and cultural aspects of WPI, emphasising the importance of employee engagement and participation in the innovation process. It also highlights the diverse motives and benefits companies gain from adopting WPI, making it a must-read for professionals interested in understanding and implementing workplace innovation strategies.
