Digital technologies are transforming the employment relationship, with work increasingly shaped by algorithmic management, AI-based evaluation, productivity analytics, biometric tools, and remote monitoring. While regulations such as the GDPR, the AI Act, labour law, and the Platform Workers Directive provide safeguards, many workplace data practices are still defined through internal policies and collective agreements. Social dialogue must therefore evolve to address the digital dimension of work.
This interactive workshop, organised by the Knowledge Centre Data & Society at the ''Computers, Privacy and Data Protection'' Conference (CPDP) moves from regulatory interpretation to normative design. After a brief framing of the legal landscape and key principles, participants collaborate in groups organised by employment model (platform, industrial, knowledge work) to draft enforceable model clauses, including non-negotiable rights, conditional safeguards, oversight mechanisms, and enforcement provisions. A plenary synthesis identifies minimum safeguards, sectoral variations, and regulatory gaps, generating practical, transferable clauses adaptable across employment contexts.
