What We Do?

Reshaping Work Dialogue takes an innovative approach that brings together companies, scale ups, start-ups, research institutes, trade unions, advocacy groups, and researchers to discuss timely issues pertaining to diverse forms of employment. The goal is not only to communicate outcomes of these fruitful debates to the outside world, but also for each participant to take something back to their organisation in an effort to improve their own organisational processes. By doing so, we aspire to support members to move towards the future of work that is fair to all concerned and more sustainable. Crafted specifically for this purpose by our creative minds, Reshaping Work Dialogue is addressing timely Future of Work topics in order to inspire policy discussions at the European level.
our Goals for 2022

Our Work Aligns with Sustainable Development Goals

The Dialogue initiative was launched by the Reshaping Work Foundation in 2020. Since then, over 30 different organisations participated in the initiative, ranging from world-class companies to micro-businesses, trade unions and research organisations. Dialogue is a collaborative effort to which corporate partners contribute financially and knowledge partners contribute in-kind.

Launch of Stage 1 of Reshaping Work Dialogue

The initiative ran a first stage of multistakeholder discussions in August – December 2020. We onboarded 18 project partners and hosted 8 roundtable discussions as well as two workshops with the European Commission. The constructive, high quality discussions that unfolded among the project partners and the positive feedback from policy makers, confirmed that such multistakeholder discussions are paramount.

Stage 1 involved three work streams: 1) Access to good quality work, 2) Social protection, rights and benefits, and 3) Skills and career development.

Report published: Advancing the quality of work and working conditions in the EU

Diverse forms of employment are on the rise: temporary work, agency work, platform work, and other multiparty work relationships beyond full time, open ended contracts. The growing variety of workforce and workplace configurations promises opportunities for greater labour market participation, increased worker autonomy and dynamic career paths. This report is a direct outcome of the stage 1 discussions and serves as a first step towards an enduring effort to improve work and working conditions for workers across diverse forms of employment.

Report published: Navigating Diverse Forms of Work

The European economies and labour market are undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation that has accelerated the rise of diverse (non-standard, new) forms of work. While the labour market transformation has been underway for decades, rapid technological advancements and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, expedited the trend, compelling policy makers around the EU Member States to devise adequate responses.

The report presents the outcome of twelve roundtable discussions facilitated by the Reshaping Work Dialogue, supported by a systematic literature review of the topic and knowledge of independent experts that partook in writing and reviewing this report.
