On 28 February, Solvay CEO, Jean-Pierre Clamadieu and EWC coordinator Albert Kruft together signed the first European text that recognizes skills acquired by those undertaking employee representation mandates so as to promote their employability and include their representation activity as part of their professional development path. In May 2017 the Belgian chemicals group negotiated a similar agreement with its French BU (UES)*, (c.f. article No. 10189) and this new Charter transposes the content Europe-wide.
The Charter takes up the methodology employed in the French 2017 agreement. Working groups comprising representatives of both Solvay employees and management are to be set up in every country in order to prepare, for each of the representation mandates, a description of the goals, missions, and business of the mandate as well as competences benchmarks and evaluations scales.
