[1] A government initiative started in 2001 called the "More Inclusive Working Life" cooperation agreement (IA Agreement) between employers and the NAV has the main goal 'to prevent and reduce absence due to illness, increase return to work and improve the working environment." Close to 23 per cent of all Norwegian enterprises are IA enterprises today. Employers that commit to the agreement have to ensure that employee representatives and safety delegates commit to a more inclusive workplace. A key condition for achieving the goals of the IA agreement is that the enterprise conducts systematic preventive health and safety work and implements the IA. In return the enterprises receive their own contact person at NAV, facilitations subsidies, remuneration for company health services and expanded use of self-certification.
