Agile response to COVID-19 crisis

As COVID-19 swept through the world, it’s caused malaise, loss of lives, and severe disruption to the global economy. 1/3 European employees are vulnerable to change in working conditions, with millions facing redundancies. This triggers a vicious circle: unemployment dampens consumer spending, which sends the market into economic freefall.

Selected goals

Raise awareness of employer representatives about EU promoted mechanisms for information, consultation, and participation in companies particularly works councils/EWC.

Promote the above mechanisms to develop company-suited measures for a joint strategy in tackling the Coronavirus-triggered crisis, to find country/location-specific solutions but without discriminating based on that aspect, and to increase overall employer-worker cooperation.
