"Sustainability transitions have effects on working life, but there are no standardized measurement instruments for understanding employees' views on their effects. This article presents a novel survey targeted at employees to gather information on employees' perceptions of sustainability in their work. A survey was designed to gather information on all workers, regardless of the economic sector in which they work in, to broadly capture transition-relevant changes in working life. These include measuring the actions of both work organizations and employees to work in a more sustainable way. This paper presents the survey with findings from a nationally representative data collection taken in Finland. The topics include questions from work organizations' sustainability actions to employees' own sustainable actions. The results show the differences in organizations and individuals' actions in working life. Large work organizations are most active, and there are differences between sectors. Individuals' sustainable actions are more common among women and climate worried employees. The method provides evidence of employees' views and actions in sustainability transitions and improves our holistic understanding of transitions in all sectors of the economy. In addition, the results provoke new questions for both policy and research on how to acknowledge differences between social groups in transitions and support them in delivering a just sustainability transition."
