European social partners agreement on digitalisation
This Autonomous Agreement has been concluded by the European cross-sectoral social partners (BusinessEurope, SMEunited, CEEP and the ETUC) in June 2020 and applies to the whole of the EU/EEA. It covers all workers and employers in the public and private sectors and in all economic activities including in activities using online platforms where an employment relationship exists, as defined nationally.
It covers the following issues:
- Digital skills and securing employment
- Modalities of connecting and disconnecting
- AI and guaranteeing the human in control principle
- Respect of human dignity and surveillance
The issues are being addressed paying attention to work organisation, work content, working conditions (terms of employment, health & safety) and work relations.
Evidently workplace innovation could be an important approach to achieve the goals of this agreement.
