During the meeting, the Commission presented the objectives of the initiative and gathered the first reactions from participants, including views on how social partners could actively contribute to the Roadmap’s development. Approximately 40 EU-level social partner organisations were represented.
The Quality Jobs Roadmap is a flagship initiative of the European Commission, aimed at promoting quality employment across the EU. It seeks to reinforce competitiveness, foster social fairness, and support just transitions. Announced by President von der Leyen in her Political Guidelines for the 2024–2029 mandate, the initiative is expected to be presented by the end of 2025.
The Roadmap will focus on advancing fair wages, good working conditions, skills development, and fair job transitions for workers and the self-employed, notably through greater collective bargaining coverage. Social partners will play a key role in shaping the initiative to ensure that it delivers concrete benefits for both businesses and workers across the European Union.
