The UK and European Union

With European Works Councils, Brexit, Unions, and the European Union – no other area of the world provides more to do and track for CHROs and HR Executives. Multinational employers operating in Europe are acutely aware of the employee-friendly nature of Europe’s workplace, union, and employment law frameworks. The fact that individual European Union member states can have varying ways of approaching workplace issues often adds a layer of complexity to efforts in the region.

Even for companies without a presence in Europe, tracking developing trends here is important. With many more existing and future progressive employee and union policies, U.S. policymakers often create initiatives based on European frameworks.
