The Autonomous Framework Agreement on Digitalisation is the shared commitment of the European cross-sectoral social partners to optimise the benefits and deal with the challenges of digitalisation in the world of work.
The framework agreement aims to:
- Raise awareness and improve understanding of employers, workers and their representatives of the opportunities and challenges in the world of work resulting from the digital transformation;
- Provide an action-oriented framework to encourage, guide and assist employers, workers and their representatives in devising measures and actions aimed at reaping these opportunities and dealing with the challenges, whilst taking into account existing initiatives, practices and collective agreements;
- Encourage a partnership approach between employers, workers and their representatives;
- Support development of a human-oriented approach to integration of digital technology in the world of work, to support/assist workers and enhance productivity;
As multiple topics and relevant workplace elements should be taken into account, the Autonomous Framework Agreement on digitalisation is based on a jointly managed dynamic circular process, which is visualised by the below figure, as well as concrete approaches, actions and measures.
