The pandemic has changed the way we live and work. While hybrid working is now regarded as the “new normal”, it’s critical to ensure that Europe makes the most of this transition – both economically and socially.
To maximise the potential of a digitally-enabled, flexible workforce, businesses, governments, and social partners must all work together on shaping the rules and frameworks that will govern the future of work.
