European Company Survey 2019

Based on data from the European Company Survey 2019, this report aims to offer a better understanding of how skills mismatches are related with skills strategies, approaches to and challenges in recruitment, and other workplace practices with regard to work organisation, human resource management and employee involvement. The report will also look at the assocations of skills mismatches with workplace well-being and establishment performance.

This report sets out the major findings of the European Company Survey (ECS) 2019, the fourth edition of this survey. Jointly carried out by Eurofound and Cedefop, the ECS 2019 involves over 25,000 establishments in all EU Member States. It covers workplace practices in relation to work organisation, human resource management, skills use, skills strategies, digitalisation, direct employee participation and social dialogue.
