Evaluation of the Senior Employee Trial Scheme in AS Oslo Sporveier

The major public transport operator in Oslo, has carried out a project where a group of senior employees worked less, in order to lessen their amount of sick days. These employees had originally more sickdays than the average employee, caused by serious health problems. This report shows results from the project. We report results on goal achievement, the participants' views on the project and how the project has affected the participants' quality of life. The project is concidered successful because of a high level of goal achievement, and because participants report a better quality of life as a result of the project. The public transport operator is also given credit for designing a well balanced project when it comes to the needs of their employees.
