The main theme of the project will be the articulation and needs of the different generations, now present in the workplace, in their career development and expectations.”
“After signing the Agreement, the group’s social partners of each country covered by the agreement will meet in order to decide on a local implementation plan.
Once the Agreement signed, group's social partners will engage to elaborate a project which will permit its implementation that will reinforce the collaboration between staff representatives, management, Human resources and employees as well as a better anchoring of the agreement at site level. The social dialogue will be even more successful.”
