Welcome to the Generation 2004 Newsletter. We invite you to join us on Monday 15 for a discussion on the new HR strategy, a big part of which relates to the attractiveness of the Commission as an employer, which brings us to the new decision on working time and hybrid working (WTHW). We pushed for the WTHW negotiations to be continued since the current text does not yet contain all of the requirements you gave us, but we were alone in this. On this same topic, in this newsletter we address the current gap in provision for the 10 teleworking-from-outside-the-place-of-employment days by suggesting a simple solution, we also show you how to make the best use of the leave options and flexibility days available. Please remember that our Survey on rise in energy bills for those working from home is still open, please participate! Work/life balance is important and Generation 2004 will continue to do its best to keep informing you on your rights in addition to inviting those of you finding yourselves in Brussels and Luxembourg (even just for a day!) to come for a walk with us; let’s get outside and away from our screens!
So, that’s it for this edition, thanks to all of you for your support, ideas and feedback: please keep it coming!
Take care, stay healthy and enjoy reading!
