Description
The appropriations of this Call for Proposals finance measures enabling the social partners and the social actors at company level to familiarize themselves with EU law and policies in the area of employee involvement, to exercise their rights and their duties to this regard and to work together towards the definition and implementation of concrete responses to the challenges posed to workers’ involvement. They cover in particular funding of measures aimed at strengthening transnational co-operation between workers' and employers' representatives in respect of employee involvement. These appropriations may also be used to fund short training actions as well as actions involving representatives of social partners in the candidate countries in the field of employee involvement.Measures and actions should be inclusive for vulnerable employees. In order to achieve inclusion of persons with disabilities accessibility must be ensured, for example of information, meetings, consultations, etc.
The expected results of this call for proposals are improved possibilities for the social partners to exercise their rights and duties as regards employee involvement; strengthened cooperation among social partners and other actors in respect to Union law on employee involvement; a follow up on the findings of the "Fitness check" on EU acts in the area of Information and Consultation of Workers, actions related to EU Directive on European Works Councils, and an increased number of social partners and other actors familiarized with transnational company agreements.
Scope:The main purpose of this Call is to fund operations aimed at developing employee involvement in undertakings - meaning any mechanism, including information, consultation and participation, through which employees' representatives may exercise an influence on decisions to be taken within the company - in particular by raising awareness and contributing to the application of EU law and policies in this area and the take-up and development of European Works Councils.
This call also aims at supporting projects which seek to identify and address challenges in workers’ involvement resulting from changes in the world of work – e.g. restructuring, outsourcing /subcontracting, digitalisation / automation / artificial intelligence and new forms of work. Transnational actions involving representatives from several Member States as well as the joint participation of employers and workers shall be promoted
