The Conference, which took place in Constance, Germany, was the final step of CESI’s 2-year “DiWork” project. The aim of the project has been to provide the personnel of public services and their representatives with an adequate understanding of how they can benefit from digitalization in terms of work organization and service provision and assess possible risks for working conditions and occupational health and safety.

Together with high-level representatives of the European Institutions, politicians representing the local community of Constance and qualified researchers, CESI tried to give answers to timely questions regarding the future of public services and the suitable approaches regarding the protection of their staff.

Public services are essential to protect and support citizens, our societies and the economy. They determine whether societies and economies are sustainable and competitive. They protect the most vulnerable members of our society and improve citizens’ prosperity and well-being. Public services care, protect and deliver.

CESI’s ‘DiWork’ Study, which was presented at the Conference, showed that trade unions and workers can play an open-minded role in the digital transition of the public services.
