İş Yerinde Sosyal Çalışmayı Türkiye İçin Düşünmek

Sosyal çalışma mesleği, bireylerin insan haklarının korunması ve gereklerinin yerine getirilmesi için yaşamda karşı karşıya kalınan çeşitli zorluklarla mücadele etmeye ve bireylerin iyilik hallerini arttırmaya yardımcı olan bir meslektir. Başta kadın, çocuk, engelli, yaşlı bireyler olmak üzere dezavantajlılar ve iyilik hali artırılması gerekli birey, grup ve topluluklar sosyal çalışma mesleğinin yararlanıcılarıdır. Sosyal çalışma mesleğinin ilgilendiği gruplardan biri de psikososyal sorunlarla veya çalışma yaşamında bazı sorunlarla karşı karşıya kalan ve desteğe ihtiyaç duyan işçiler/çalışanlardır. Bu bağlamda sosyal hizmet mesleği odağında işçi ve çalışanlara yönelik gerçekleştirilen mesleki uygulamalar iş yerinde sosyal çalışma olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Farklı ülkelerde iş yerinde sosyal çalışma uygulamaları gerçekleştirilirken Türkiye’de iş yerinde sosyal çalışma uygulamaları yeterince bilinmemektedir ve yaygın değildir. Bu çerçevede söz konusu çalışma, ilk olarak Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde gelişen iş yerinde sosyal çalışma uygulamalarını, kurumsallaşma sürecine paralel bir şekilde oluşan iş yerinde sosyal çalışmanın tanımını ve iş yerinde sosyal çalışmanın kapsamı ile boyutlarını ortaya koymak amacındadır. Ayrıca, farklı ülkelerde gerçekleştirilen örnek uygulamaların sunulması ve Türkiye’de iş yerinde sosyal çalışma uygulamalarının nasıl gerçekleştirilebileceğinin tartışılması hedeflenmektedir
