Juntos por el Empleo de los Mas Vulnerable (“Together for Employment for the Most Vulnerable”)

Submitted by Accenture

Objective

To create an inclusive labour market in Spain.

Overview and Main Activities

With an unemployment rate of 70%, it is no longer viable to tackle unemployment in Spain through isolated, individual and uncoordinated means. Juntos por el Empleo de los más Vulnerables (“Together for employment for the most vulnerable”) is a cross-sectorial initiative that promotes a collaborative strategy in order to create a step-change towards a more inclusive labour market. The initiative’s objectives are to:

  • Strengthen the employment ecosystem in Spain
  • Support the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Spain
  • Co-fund solution delivery
  • Measure the initiative’s own social impact

The programme involves more than 100 organizations from the private and public sectors working together with civil society. Collectively, partners have:

  • Diagnosed key issues to be addressed
  • Identified, agreed and prioritized solutions
  • Designed the approach
  • Executed its implementation

Partners include over 50 businesses, including Repsol, Acciona, Ferrovial, NH Hoteles, Fundación La Caixa, Fundación Iberdrola and Telefonica; over 10 government bodies of Spain’s Ministry of Employment and the Ministry of Social Affairs, as well as local bodies of the Madrid City Council; and over 40 civil society organizations, including the Spanish Red Cross, Caritas Española and Fundación ONCE.

As one of the three founding organizations, Accenture provides the following programme support:

  • Helps to structure the launch and steering principles of the initiative. Together with 10 other organizations, Accenture helps to manage its expanded collective “backbone” structure.
  • Supports the design, development and implementation of each of the nine solutions provided to the initiative’s NGO partners. To develop each solution, collective pro bono project groups – consisting of organizations from public, private and non-profit sectors – ensure inclusion of multiple perspectives. Accenture created a cloud platform to provide NGOs with software application solutions; it continues to maintain, operate and run the platform on a pro bono basis.
  • Employees share perspectives with regard to market demand in Accenture’s sector, job profile requirements, etc. to contribute to the rich knowledge base generated collectively through the initiative’s partner organizations.

Success Factors and Challenges

Most critical success factors:

  • Shared vision of the issue and identification of possible solutions
  • Involvement of key organizations from different sectors
  • Strong collaboration among all parties
  • Wide implementation and adoption of solutions developed through the initiative
  • Frequent communication of progress to all stakeholders
  • Agreement on how to measure collective impact
  • Establishment of a backbone structure to serve as steering body

Main challenges:

  • Establishing a backbone structure representative of collective interests
  • Securing organizations’ long-term commitment to the initiative
  • Balancing objectives with interests and conflicts of interest between organizations

Recommendations for Others

It is crucial to ensure the establishment of a collective “backbone” structure from the start.

Replicability and Scalability

How easily could other organizations implement this initiative?
Easy: Collective impact methodology lends itself to tackling complex social problems. However, finding backbone organizations responsible for conveying collective effort is important.

How easily can this initiative be expanded to include a larger number of participants?
Very easy: The initiative has well-established ways of engaging interested partners. Organizations can take part in solution development and/or by implementing the resulting solutions.
