Social dialogue has been effective against the multiple challenges that were raised by the COVID-19 crisis. It has played a key role in maintaining jobs despite a sudden collapse in demand, and in giving workers more confidence in returning to workplaces by improving safety and protection against COVID-19.

 

The forum will focus on the role that a strong process of dialogue, consultation and negotiation between governments and social partners plays in addressing the longer term issues brought about by the pandemic. It will also address how to manage a process of change that is both human-centered and productive when it comes to a faster introduction of digitalisation and automation into the world of work than would have been the case pre-pandemic.

 

There will be four main sessions to the Forum: 

Monday 11 October    Tuesday 12 October Wednesday 13 October Thursday 14 October
Building a Strong and Inclusive Jobs Recovery Addressing Inequalities: Social Dialogue and Global Supply Chains Addressing Inequalities: Social Dialogue and Due Diligence Double Disruption: Social Dialogue, Digitalisation and COVID-19


In addition to the main programme, there will be partner-led events in the margins of the Forum with to present the work of Global Deal partners in relation to social dialogue and underline some of the actions taken to implement their commitments.
