Given the rapidly changing landscape of work driven by digitalisation, the role of labour inspectors is more important than ever. A workshop on the topic organised by our Austrian focal point, Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Wirtschaft, is set to take place soon. 

Participants of the workshop will learn about future requirements for labour inspectors such as necessary training and continuous education, the tools and equipment required to support their duties and broader working conditions that will enable them to carry out their roles effectively.

The structure of the workshop has been carefully designed to encourage active engagement, with several discussion rounds, providing them with the opportunity to engage and share diverse perspectives. Adding to the depth of the discussions, the workshop will feature a presentation of a study shedding light on new research findings that could influence the direction of labour inspection practices in the future.

By the end of the event, participants should leave with a clearer understanding of the evolving demands on labour inspection personnel and with actionable insights that can be applied within their respective organisations and regions.
