PROJECTS
"PESSIS - Promoting employers' social services in social dialogue" PESSIS was a European project funded by the European Commission Programme Industrial relations and Social dialogue. The project, running from January to September 2012, was implemented by a broad partnership of European and national organisations representing social and health services providers.
PESSIS II is the follow up project and represents the second step of a longer term process aiming at establishing a representative platform for employers in the social services sector at European level. The project is supported by a broad partnership of European and national organisations representing social and health services providers, in close cooperation with the European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU).It is a European project funded by the European Commission’s Programme on Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue.
PRESIS III
The project focuses on the creation of a European network representing employers in the social services sector (from the social economy). It ensures that social services employers become recognised social partners at European level and take part in the European Social Dialogue (ESD). Bringing this relevant workforce into ESD will strengthen European Social Dialogue as a whole and improve its coverage of the EU workforce. It is a European project funded by the European Commission’s Programme on Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue. The project lasts 24 months (15 November 2015 – 15 November 2017)
