Socially responsible restructuring
Effective strategies for supporting redundant workers
and sector restructuring’. In the case study enterprises, direct use of ESF or other
European funds was extensive and usually accessed through regional
disbursement or joint financing arrangements. These have played an
underpinning role, notably in ESF, in the career guidance and associated support
provided through some of the area-based initiatives but not all.
Other European funds have also had a less directed contribution, including
Leonardo da Vinci, which past research has shown to have supported parallel
capacity developments and transnational work exploring workplace vocational
guidance with lower paid workers, some of whom were at risk of redundancy
(Clayton, 2004). None of the case study enterprises in this review have seen
direct past support outside ESF and EGF, although some may have benefited
indirectly.
