Prevention, health, ecological and digital transition… many topics

The objective of this negotiation: to find “ Specific and corrective measures throughout the social sphere. “, AND ” show professional perspectives to talents who wish to join public works or who already work in our companies, as well as to the different actors in orientation and integration », explain the partners.

“ This vector of social dialogue will also be a guarantee of balance between the wishes of companies and employees. “, They add. This will involve, in particular, a better balance between professional and personal life, and more prevention and safety/health measures at work.

“ The main objective: to offer public works employees a safe and secure work environment, especially due to outdoor activities. », emphasize the partners.

The sector also remembers the challenges of the ecological and digital transition, which will require New training and professional skills.

6 main axes

The negotiation will be structured around six axes: meaning and values, employee health, work organization, life at work, professional development and distribution of values.

In this context, the social partners have agreed, in particular, to include regulatory provisions that enact social innovations and modernize collective agreements, but also recommendations for companies. They also planned to challenge public authorities for blocking legislative elements.
