    Una parte creciente del desarrollo del Bienestar Ocupacional (BO) gira en torno a la protección de nuevos riesgos sociales, principalmente mediantes programas ofrecidos por las empresas para facilitar la conciliación entre vida personal y laboral, y la formación continua. Estos programas son de singular importancia para la protección activa de la empleabilidad en un contexto postindustrial. Este artículo tiene como objetivo ofrecer un mapa del desarrollo reciente del BO. Se inicia con una perspectiva comparada dentro del ámbito europeo, para luego describir los perfiles de los beneficiaros de esos programas y analizar cómo las características de las empresas y de los puestos de trabajo condicionan el acceso a los mismos. Los resultados confirman el carácter limitado del BO en el caso español, pero también indican trayectorias recientes de expansión de los principales beneficios, conciliación y formación; algo que tiene gran interés por ocurrir durante un ciclo de crisis

    A growing part of the development of Occupa- tional Welfare (OW) revolves around the protection against new social risks in the fields of work-life reconciliation and continuous training. In this manner, organisations supplement public protection in said areas, either via voluntary benefits that are supplied by the firm so as to improve employment conditions or via commitments derived from collective bargaining. These programs are of particular importance for the active protec- tion of employability in a post-industrial context. The main objective of this article is to examine the recent development of OW in Spain. First, we situate Spain within the European context. Then, we describe profiles of the beneficiaries of the pro- grams of work-life balance and training as well as analyse what characteristics of companies and jobs condition access to these programs. From a comparative perspective, the results confirm the limited nature of OW in Spain. Yet they also indicate recent trajectories of expansion of the pro- grams of reconciliation and training, which is very interesting to occur during the economic crisis with strong pressures to adjust labour costs for companies.
