New thematic brief: A business case for social dialogue - How workplace representation and collective bargaining deliver better business performance

 

13 July 2021 - There are many ways in which social dialogue improves business performance while also supporting decent work and more equitable work places. An earlier Global Deal brief has demonstrated how social dialogue plays a key role in absorbing shocks and preserving jobs, managing industrial disputes, creating the stability needed for the smooth functioning of the production process, improving investment in human capital and productivity while offsetting the risks in global supply chains.  

 

This new Global Deal thematic brief “A business case for social dialogue: How workplace representation and collective bargaining deliver better business performance” focusses on social dialogue at enterprise level, citing recent empirical evidence that points to several advantages for business. It discusses how workplace representation together with collective bargaining promotes co-operation in the process of the structural change that comes with technological progress; facilitates flexibility in working time; improves the quality of management; promotes innovation; and strengthens performance on responsible business conduct.
