EMCC European Monitoring Centre on Change

Fieldwork for the 2019 European Company Survey (ECS) has started! Eurofound and Cedefop have joined forces to carry out this fourth edition of the ECS which will collect data in over 20,000 establishments in all EU Member States. A manager and, where present, an employee representative, will be asked to fill out online questionnaires on workplace practices regarding work organisation, human resource management, skills use, skills strategies, digitalisation, direct employee participation and social dialogue. The survey allows for the identification of those bundles of workplace practices that work particularly well in creating win–win outcomes: situations where workers are facilitated and motivated to use their skills to the full, share their knowledge and insights with colleagues and management, and identify opportunities to improve both themselves and the work process as a whole, allowing establishments to thrive. The first publications based on the ECS 2019 will be published in autumn 2020.
