European Employee Relations Academy: Preparing for EWCD III – What You Can Do Now

European Employee Relations Academy

Preparing for EWCD III - What You Can Do Now

October 8-10, 2024 | Hotel Estela, Sitges, Barcelona, Spain

The EU is rewriting the European Works Council Directive (EWCD) – it is expected to become national law, across the EU, by 2027. The first EWCD was adopted in 1994. It was “recast” in 2009, so this will be "EWCD III," the third version.

This comprehensive workshop will enable participants to prepare for EWCD III by examining what it will mean for their companies, and developing a plan for immediate action. There are already reports of EWCs members raising concern with management about what a revised Directive will mean for them, so NOW is the time to get ready!

Held at our regular venue outside Barcelona, the Hotel Estela, the attendance fee is €4,550 for HR Policy Global member companies / €5,500 for non-members.

The program fee includes:

• Accommodation and breakfast at the 4-Star Hotel Estela. 
• Collection from and return to Barcelona airport 
• All coffee breaks, lunches and dinners (three-course lunch/dinner, including wines)
• All conference materials in soft copy  

As always with our training programs, there will be plenty of time for “one-to-one” discussions with the program faculty.

The programme begins at 09:00am on Tuesday Oct 8th and finishes at noon on Thursday, Oct 10th (local time). The meeting will be conducted in English, and the dress code is business casual.

As part of the planning process for this workshop, we invite participants to contact Tom Hayes at [email protected](Opens in a new window) to discuss your EWCs.

Additional expert panelists will be added soon!
