Managing Employee Relations in Europe Today – a European Training Academy Program

Tuesday, April 8 - Thursday, April 10
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Local Time


Managing Employee Relations in Europe Today focuses on what we in HR Policy Global Europe know best. How to manage information, consultation, and engagement with employees’ representatives, whether at the level of European Works Councils, or at national and local level, involving issues such as pay transparency, collective redundancies, due diligence, or platform workers. Five EU Directives that are in various stages of progress will potentially change the ground rules on employee voice in the workplace:  

  • Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
  • Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
  • Pay Transparency Directive 
  • Platform Workers Directive
  • European Works Council (revised) Directive

These developments are happening against a background of continuously declining trade union membership in Europe, despite the best efforts of the European Union to promote collective bargaining, as in the Adequate Minimum Wage Directive. Our April European Academy program will focus on how you develop a labour and employee relations strategy to manage these new challenges.

The fee is: €4,765 / $5000 (based on current exchange rates)
