What happened to European children in 2016?

You will find the answers is in the new Eurochild Annual Report.
Eurochild is a network of organisations working with and for children throughout Europe, striving for a society that respects the rights of children.

The work of Eurochild is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the most signed international human rights treaty that grants all children and young people a comprehensive set of rights.

The new Annual Report of the organisation highlights the fact that if progress towards the full realisation of children’s rights in Europe suffered several setbacks, 2016 also brought significant positive developments.

Two examples: (1) the Council of Europe adopted a 6-year ambitious children’s rights strategy with high-level political commitment from many of its 47 member states; (2) the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child issued two new General Comments giving guidance to governments on public spending for the realisation of children’s rights, and implementation of children’s rights during adolescence.

In 2016, Eurochild welcomed 17 new members after a vote by the General Assembly. Eurochild has a total of 178 members, from 33 countries, including organisations and individuals working to promote children’s rights in Europe.

The yearly  Economic Report of the World Employment Confederation has just been released!

The year-long research conducted by the World Employment Confederation in 50 countries addresses the challenges of a changing world of work and illustrates the role of the employment industry in enabling work, adaptation, security and prosperity.

50 million people globally accessed the labour market via an employment agency in 2015
Regarding penetration rate, agency work represents a limited part of the global working population averaging just 1.7%. The USA leads the field at 2.2%, followed by Japan (2%) and Europe (1.9%).
The highest-placed European country is France in 5th place with 2 million hires.

Across the markets covered in the report, current trends show a diversification of the employment industry.
Employment agencies also guided some 3 million individuals through their career management or job search, and they enabled adaptation by closing skills gaps and placing unemployed youth in work.

Following Denis Pennel, Managing Director at the World Employment Confederation, numbers show two things: “first, agencies provide both an entry point to the labour market and a stepping stone to permanent hiring. Second, the industry creates decent jobs that would otherwise not exist. In India for instance, 92% of companies would not make permanent hires if agency work was not available”.

Finally, the report points that the employment industry reduces frictional unemployment and has an impact on public budgets.

The Communication Agency, Page in extremis is proud to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the report. The result is a comprehensive publication made within an intimate creative dialogue framework involving the Belgian communication agency’s creative team, and the World Employment Confederation.

An online version of the publication is on the road and will be soon published.

Page in extremis has defined a very accurate process including monitoring and quality check particularly suited to provide maximum comfort to its clients and the best results.

ASECAP has updated two significant brochures related to the security on the motorways: “Life-Saving Chain in ASECAP” and “Ghost drivers.”

Life-Saving Chain in ASECAP is a publication that aims at providing a clear overview of all the actions taken after an accident.
The brochure carefully describes the critical operations that are activated by different stakeholders in case of an accident to save lives and avoid any related dangers to the people. These procedures are often a chain system where several actors (police, concessionaires, fire brigades, emergency services) are actively involved and share different responsibilities.

“Ghost drivers” is the second publication related to motorways security matters.
Ghost drivers have been the cause of severe accidents in different Member States, and they represent an emerging threat to road safety policies in the EU.
This phenomenon consists of those vehicles driving in the wrong direction on a motorway posing a grave danger to other drivers.
Indeed, wrong-way crashes are relatively infrequent, but they are more likely to produce serious injuries and fatalities compared to other types of accidents.

The publication sheds more light on the direct experiences of the ASECAP members confronted with this emerging issue and provides a comprehensive picture of the situation in different countries stressing the need for joint actions and initiatives between toll road operators and other relevant stakeholders.

Both publications are the result of a close collaboration between the ASECAP communication team and Page in extremis.

The PGEU Report 2016 entitled “Community pharmacy, a public health hub”, features various examples of the public health activities of community pharmacists. The report illustrates these activities under the three domains of public health: health protection, health improvement, and health service delivery and quality.

PGEU is the voice of Community Pharmacy in Brussels. The European Association represents the community pharmacy perspective concerning legislative and policy initiatives at EU level which affect the profession and public health.

The organisation maintains regular contacts with the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER) and the Economic and Social Committee.

A Brand Audit! For what purpose?

An organisation is like a living body; it grows, changes, and evolves over time. Staffs, leaders, and divisions develop their own interpretation of the purpose and temperament of the brand. The result of this evolution can be a fundamental misalignment of organisational efforts.

A designer’s job is to take a message and communicate it visually. If he receives poor guidance or dissonant information, the results will not have the desired impact.

A new visual solution is also especially crucial when an organisation is introducing a new vision or a new core idea. The new visual identity must represent a new reality.

But how to know when to operate a rebranding exercise?

The best practice is to drive a Brand Audit.
A brand audit is a thorough analysis of a brand’s current position compared to its paired organisations and a review of its effectiveness. It helps you determine the strength of your brand together with its weaknesses or inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement and new developments.

Based in Brussels, the communication agency Page in extremis can help you define the essence of your brand and formulate its differences in a very positive relationship with its environment and all its stakeholders.
