The WINS project aimed to promote employee involvement in companies in general and in companies of the social economy (SEEs), encouraging them to know those rights and their obligations and companies to develop professionally in accordance with the principles that govern Social Economy Enterprises, especially in Italy, Spain, North Macedonia, and Slovenia.
During the last two years, we have faced a series of specific challenges regarding information, participation, and consultation rights of workers, and the WINS project partnership decided to focus on a few of them, such as the effective operation of these rights in the Social Economy Enterprises, digital platform cooperatives, false cooperatives, ESOP models or worker buyouts.
Likewise, we have reinforced transnational cooperation that had a positive impact on the relationship between representatives of the workers and the workers themselves, which we hope will result in greater involvement of workers in their enterprises.
But there is still a long way to go to improve employee involvement and there are many challenges to face.
We trust that the conference, together with the written results of the project, will help to face them.
