Workers and COVID: the crisis and beyond!

Check the 20th-anniversary issue of Benchmarking Working Europe! This flagship publication has allowed the European Trade Union Institute and the European Trade Union Confederation to contribute to crucial European debates based on the fact-based analysis.

This year’s 20th-anniversary issue conveys a simple warning: beside SARS-CoV-2, ‘austerity’ is the other nefarious agent from which Europe as a whole need to be protected in the challenging months and years ahead.

A new wave of austerity could not only undermine the post-Covid recovery, but it could also fundamentally undermine the European social and economic integration project.

It is particularly apt for the 20th-anniversary issue of Benchmarking, to set out the ETUI and the ETUC case for a socially responsive and ecologically sustainable road out of the Covid-19 crisis.

The European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) is the independent research and training centre of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) speaks with a single voice, on behalf of workers’ common interests, at European level. Founded in 1973, it now represents 45 million members from 90 trade union organisations in 38 European countries, plus 10 European Trade Union Federations.

The Communication Agency, Page in extremis is proud to have participated in the creative development and the printed and online publication’s graphical production.

The result is an inspiring brochure and an attractive online publication made within an intimate creative dialogue involving Romuald Jagodziński and his team and the communication agency’s creative unit.

How is the private employment industry making a difference in the new world of work?

The private employment industry believes in “social innovation” as the way forward.
Social innovation is defined as the implementation of new solutions for working, learning and social protection for the benefit of workers, employers and society in general.
The World Employment Confederation’s members have developed a map detailing the goals and conditions of social innovation, suggesting some examples of potential actions, identifying which stakeholders the industry should work with as well as outlining the benefits and risks for the sector.

The social innovations stories, the WEC online platform presents about 30 cases studies. Find out through concrete cases how the private employment industry is making a difference in the new world of work by implementing new ways of working, learning and providing social protection.

All around the world, WEC members are implementing new ways of working, learning and providing social protection. Check out what is happening in specific countries!

As labour markets enablers, the World Employment Confederation-Europe and its members believe that they have a leadership role to play in building such future proof labour markets.

The WEC online platform of social innovation stories is the result of the creative dialogue between the WEC communication team and the Communication agency Page in extremis.

Shaping Future Energy and Climate Policies in Europe: ENGIE’s vision

The ENGIE group – as a leader of the energy transition – fully supports the European ambitions in the field of climate change and energy transition.

Isabelle Kocher,  the CEO of ENGIE stated: “We believe that a competitive ecological transition is achievable by using existing natural gas networks and storage capacities, gradually replacing natural gas by green gas – such as biomethane or green hydrogen – to supply our customers”.

At the very heart of ENGIE’s vision of the future are the priorities of energy efficiency, greening energy and empowering consumers, thanks to decentralised and smart energy systems.

ENGIE has shared its view in a brochure in terms of policy recommendations for the next EU Commission. The publication expresses the ENGIE vision on how to design a future European Agenda to complete the Energy Union. ENGIE encourages EU commitments in six significant areas for making energy: climate-proof, efficient, green, secure, inclusive and innovative.

The communication agency Page in extremis is proud to participate in the creative development and the graphical production of the publication.

EDSO presents key recommendations for Electricity Market Design trilogues

EDSO for Smart Grids gathers leading European distribution system operators (DSOs) for electricity, cooperating to bring smart grids from vision to reality in Europe and is focused on guiding EU RD&D, policy and member state regulation to support this development.

Distribution system operators (DSOs) are the operating managers of energy distribution networks, operating at low, medium and, in some member states, high voltage levels.

Smart grids are essential to achieving the EU’s ambitious energy and climate objectives to 2020 and beyond.

EDSO is the key-interface between Europe’s DSOs and the European institutions, promoting the development and large-scale testing of smart grid models and technologies in real-life situations, new market designs and regulation.

EDSO believes that the Clean Energy Package is a real opportunity for DSOs to contribute to and meet the challenges of a flexible and highly digitised energy system – mainly as this transition is mostly affecting distribution grids at the local level.

EDSO has summarised its ten key recommendations in an eye-catching leaflet. The publication is the result of the co-creative framework that occurred between the EDSO team and the creative staff of the communication agency, Page in extremis.

The communication agency helps create and develop each of your publications as an appendage of larger strategic communication plans.

“A picture tells a thousand words”, images help us grab attention, tell, and motivate. There is real value in using photographs to promote your main messages.

Our vision is the most active of our senses: a large percentage of the human brain dedicates itself to visual processing. That is due to our evolution: quick processing of visual information has saved our ancestors from the attack of predators. When we look at a picture, we analyse it instantly, and the meaning of it comes to us immediately. The human brain recognises a familiar object within 100 milliseconds. Good communicators should use that fact to their advantage. For instance, on social media, a post accompanied by an image is ten times more apt to receive engagement. Visuals are one way of catching your audience’s attentiveness and gaining interaction.

Images also have an exceptional potential to get an emotional response from your audience. Pictures help us become involved. With photographs, we see what is written. To simplify the often complicated messages, we appreciate the help of visuals. The images contribute positively to the storytelling process that makes the communication more engaging.

With all this in mind, the communication agency, Page in extremis can help you develop the customised images bank of your organisation.
