The BEFLEX Project is made up of partners from six organisations from five different EU regions: Northern Ireland (UK), Romania, Poland, Slovakia and Spain.
The partners have a range of experience and expertise in developing and delivering training programmes and recognised the need for skills to deal with an ever changing workplace.
The idea of job for life is a thing of the past, a concept which was understood and accepted for generations is now over. The change in the kind of work we do, what future generations will do and the skills needed require constant updating.
The BEFLEX project partners collaborated to carry out research into the situation of the labour market in their regions and consulted with Focus groups to identify the skills required by managers and employees to cope with the demands of an ever changing work environment.
Change impacts on companies and the need to reinvent and adapt themselves to a new and changing market. It impacts on their employees, not only on their day to day work but the type of work required of them in the future.
Cognitive flexibility, the ability to respond to and adapt to change is an essential skill demanded by the labour market in a new economic model.
The BeFlex training resources aim to improve the cognitive flexibility of both employers and employees to improve their ability to respond and adapt to change in the workplace.
The aim is to develop the adaptive capacity to new labour scenarios, generate higher levels of productivity, worker mobility, increased income to improve not only labour wellness but wellness of those in the workplace.
The target groups of the BeFlex training resources are:
1) Entrepreneurs and managers
2) Employees
3) Companies and organizations active in the field of training and advisory services
