Objective: This brief report examines the implementation of a hybrid transitional-supported employment program using a social enterprise model to improve work skills and work behavior of people with psychiatric disabilities.
Methods: The subjects of this study included 25 consumers enrolled in a social enterprise café training program between May 2006 and December 2007. Work behavior assessments and supported employment tenure were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: All training participants who completed the 20-month training program demonstrated significant improvement in work behavior before leaving the transitional training at the café. Individuals who completed the transitional training at the café went on to sustain competitive employment for an average of 44 weeks.
Conclusion: The social enterprise model is deemed helpful in assisting people with psychiatric disabilities to improve their employment outcomes.

Background: Delivery of health and care services using a combination of remote and/or in-person channels and digital and/or traditional tools (Hybrid Service Delivery, HSD) is increasingly seen as a way of improving quality and affordability, improving access, personalisation and sustainability, and reducing inequalities. Across the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), using a combination of remote and/or in-person channels and digital and/or traditional tools (HSD) has enabled the essential provision of services for people who have learning disabilities and/or autistic (LDA). However, it is unclear how different tools and channels have been used, what worked well or not well, for whom, and in what circumstances.

Introduction: Encouraging proactive behavior among employees is a crucial pathway for companies to adapt swiftly and gain a competitive edge.

However, not all employees are willing to engage in COCB, even when the organization actively encourages participation.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria demand that enterprises should not be assessed solely on their financial performance, but also on their environmental, social, and governance performance. This numerical assessment of ESG criteria enables them to be evaluated with the consideration of other financial issues of enterprises' performance and thereby guides financial investments into environmentally and socially responsible firms. ESG, however, solidifies the continuance of conventional technologies but can potentially disadvantage emerging technologies.
