¿Cómo podemos abordar eficazmente el ciberacoso en el trabajo?
Durante la última década, las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación han cambiado la forma en que los empleados trabajan y se comunican entre sí. Si bien la digitalización del trabajo ofrece muchos beneficios, el acceso generalizado a los dispositivos digitales en la vida laboral ha proporcionado un terreno fértil para la aparición de nuevas formas de comportamientos antisociales, incluido el ciberacoso en el lugar de trabajo. En este episodio de Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey habla con Sara Riso, directora de investigación sénior de Eurofound, sobre lo que constituye el ciberacoso, el grado de difusión del ciberacoso en el trabajo y si existe suficiente legislación y normas en el lugar de trabajo para abordarlo de forma eficaz. Discuten cómo el acoso y el ciberacoso han surgido como temas prominentes en los debates de políticas nacionales, principalmente como problemas que afectan a los jóvenes en lugar de como un fenómeno más general en el lugar de trabajo y perjudicial para el bienestar de los trabajadores. Ya sea en línea o cara a cara, parece que el acoso en el trabajo es más frecuente de lo que comúnmente se reconoce.

COVID-19: Fast-forward to a new era of employee surveillance
With remote working becoming the new normal for many workers, it is surely the case that many employers are anxious to ensure that their employees are putting in full working days. Companies are likely to be investing in and deploying digital technologies for tracking employee performance much more than before the pandemic. The pervasiveness of new digital technologies – whether for working remotely or in the workplace – has raised a host of new issues and concerns around privacy and data protection as well as work organisation, control and autonomy. When it comes to tracking what employees are doing, there is a balance to be struck between the legitimate business interests of the employer and employees’ right to privacy.

Technology is our ally against the Coronavirus
Fear has been mounting in the debate around new technologies and the implications for the future of work. But the Coronavirus outbreak is unveiling some real positives of technological advances. Digital communication tools are supporting and enhancing working from home, while innovative companies are leveraging more nascent technologies – such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D printing – to deal with the frontline challenges of the crisis.

Restructuring: Do unions still matter?
Trade unions in many EU Member States face the issue of declining membership. This is a fundamental challenge for organised labour, but it is premature to speak about the redundancy unions: when it comes to important decisions affecting the workplace, restructuring being one, trade unions remain a powerful mechanism of employee voice. Latest data from Eurofound’s European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) confirms that the presence of a trade union in the workplace is associated with greater employee voice and involvement in decision-making on restructuring.

Restructuring: We need to make sure those that stay behind are not forgotten
Company restructuring may hit the headlines less in good times, but it remains a central experience in the working life of many. According to the most recent European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) data, just under one in three (30%) employees in the EU reported that restructuring had taken place at their workplace in the preceding three years. A similar proportion reported working in downsized workplaces. Large scale restructuring involving job loss is usually well-documented, and there is rightly a focus on what options there are for those who have lost their jobs. But what impact does all this have on those that are left behind?

Avoiding the quick fix approach to solving youth unemployment
A key priority for EU policy makers is to combat high levels of youth unemployment. Supporting young people to start a new business is increasingly regarded as a way to achieve this goal. And yet the understanding of what drives the success and failure of youth entrepreneurship policies remains incomplete. In a rush to deliver ‘quick fixes’ to the problem of youth unemployment, governments are falling short of devising well-coordinated policy interventions firmly grounded in evidence that could, in the longer term, be more effective and save public money.
