What Percentage of Companies In EU Allow Employees In Their Decision-making Process?

According to European Company Survey 2019, approximately one-third (31%) of companies in the European Union (EU27) facilitated the regular direct participation of employees in organisational decision-making process.

The Survey found that more than half of establishments in Sweden (56%) and Denmark (55%) were considered by regular, high influence direct engagement with employees, nonetheless only around a 5^th in Poland (20%) and the Netherlands (21%).

These figures are based on the findings in the 4^thEuropean Company Survey, conducted in partnership between EU Agencies Eurofound and Cedefop.

It provides information on workplace practices, human resource Management, skills and development, employee participation and social dialogue from 21,869 Human Resources managers and 3,073 employee representatives in the 27 EU Member States and the United Kingdom during 2019.

Popular Tools for employee participation and their usage.

The report says that establishments use various means to engage with employees, and these vary in the degree to which they are top-down or bottom-up as well as the degree of interaction involved.

However, the ECS 2019 discovered four popular tools where most of the companies use as a method of interaction with employees. The following figure shows the four major tools and their level of influence.

Approximately 31% of companies in the European Union (EU27) facilitated the regular direct participation of employees in organisational decision-making process.

The study discovered that majority of companies (94% in the EU27) that encouraged employee participation in organizational decision-making process organize regular meetings between employees and their line manager as a method to engage with employees.

The analysis says that regular meetings between employees and their immediate manager are most prevalent in Sweden (82%) and Austria (76%) and least prevalent in Poland (42%) and Croatia (43%).

In terms of Sector, such meetings are most prevalent in other services (69%) and least prevalent in transport (46%).

The survey results show that large establishments are more likely to hold regular meetings between employees and their immediate manager (66%) than medium-sized (62%) and small (58%) establishments.

More European Citizens Trust In EU Than National Governments, According To Study

The Eurofound, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions in its study titled “Living, working and COVID-19” found that people across the Europe are reporting low levels of optimism about their future.

People across the EU are also reporting very low levels of trust in the European Union and in their national governments, it stated.

In April 2020, less than half (46%) of EU respondents were optimistic about their future compared to almost two-thirds (64%) as recorded in the European Quality of Life Survey in 2016.

People from the most heavily hit countries in the EU (France, Italy, Belgium, Spain) were all among those least optimistic about their future and below the EU average, revealed the study.

Trust in the EU and national governments has also been affected during this period, however people in Belgium, Italy, Spain and France still have high level trust in Healthcare systems.

Comparing the trust levels in healthcare systems from April 2020 survey results, July 2020 e-survey results show that trust in the Healthcare system remained well ahead of trust in other institutions such as the media, national government and the EU.

Trust in EU (27) institutions (scale 1 to 10).

EU Citizens Report LOW LEVEL of TRUST In Their National Governments

The results of the e-survey show that overall trust in the government was slightly lower in July 2020 than it as in April. This is the case for all sociodemographic groups, except for those aged 50 and over, for whom trust levels did not change. It also holds true for many Member States, although not for all. In France and Spain, trust in the government was higher in July than it was in April.

In Spain, it increased from 4.3 to 4.8 and in France it increased from 3.9 to 4.3. Quite a different development is seen in Croatia, Austria, Finland, Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.

In these countries trust fell by around one point on the scale. Drops of at least half a point are noted in Ireland, Slovakia (both -0.8), Portugal (-0.7), Czechia (-0.6) and Estonia (-0.5).

Trust in the national governments in July ranged from 2.9 in Croatia to 6.5 in Finland; in April, trust levels ranged from 2.6 in Poland to 7.6 in Finland.

Trust in the EU is greater than trust in national governments.

Trust in the European Union was significantly higher among respondents in July (5.1) than among respondents in April (4.6) and now exceeds trust in the national government.

Trust in the EU ranges from 4.2 among respondents in Croatia and Greece to 6.3 among respondents in Ireland.

According to the findings, trust in the EU improved among all sociodemographic respondent groups. Among the self-employed, it increased from 4.3 to 5.1. Trust among unemployed respondents still lags, despite a significant increase since April (from 3.8 to 4.4).

According to European Company Survey (ECS 2019) conducted in partnership between EU Agencies, Eurofound and Cedefop, ‘high investment, high involvement’ workplaces produce the best outcomes for workers and employers.

However, only 20% of EU organisations fall into this category – pushing practices that strengthen employee autonomy.

These companies are managing to enhance performance while improving workers’ job quality, study revealed.

These companies can be found across all types of business regardless of country, size, Sector, or competitiveness Strategy, but are most prevalent in Nordic countries, such as Finland and Sweden, and in Sectors known to have better working conditions, such as financial services, said the report.

The three other categories, ‘selective investment, moderate involvement’ (33%); ‘moderate investment, irregular involvement’ (27%); and ‘low investment, low involvement’ (21%) all score lower in terms of worker wellbeing and company performance, the report said.

The 4^thEuropean Company Survey (ECS 2019), conducted in partnership between EU Agencies, Eurofound and Cedefop, collected information on workplace practices, human resource Management, skills and development, employee participation and social dialogue from 21,869 Human Resources managers and 3,073 employee representatives in the 27 EU Member States and the United Kingdom during 2019, providing a timely insight into the potential resilience of companies across the EU in advance of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Is There Any Relation Between Hiccups and Brain Growth? Scientists Say YES

Scientists in a new study have discovered that hiccups in babies, caused by sudden contractions of the diaphragm, trigger electrical activity in the brain which could help infants learn breathing regulation.

A brand-new study published by researchers from the Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology of University College London found that hiccups in babies, caused by sudden contractions of the diaphragm, trigger electrical activity in the brain which could help infants learn breathing regulation.

In 13 infants on the neonatal ward (30–42 weeks corrected gestational age), researchers analysed electroencephalography (EEG) activity (18-electrode recordings in six subjects; 17-electrode recordings in five subjects; 16-electrode recordings in two subjects), time-locked to diaphragm contractions (n = 1316) recorded with a movement transducer affixed to the trunk.

Research paper titled “Event-related potentials following contraction of respiratory muscles in pre-term and full-term infants” stated that the infants brain activity was recorded with electrodes attached to the scalp, while hiccuping movements were assessed with sensors on the babies’ torso.

According to researchers, all the bouts of hiccups occurred during wakefulness or active sleep. Each diaphragm contraction evoked two initial event-related potentials with negativity predominantly across the central region, and a third event-related potential with positivity maximal across the central region.

Researchers stated that involuntary contraction of the diaphragm can be encoded by the brain from as early as ten weeks prior to the average time of birth.

They found in their study that hiccups – frequent in neonates – provide afferent input to the developing brain.

Who’s Better In Mathematics? Boys or Girls? – Here’s What Researchers Found

A brand-new study, that measured 3-10-year-old Children’s neural development with functional magnetic resonance imaging during naturalistic viewing of mathematics education Videos, has discovered that the boys and girls showed significant gender similarities in neural functioning.

The researchers stated that that Women are underrepresented in science, Technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers owing to biological differences.

They said that some scientists have hypothesized that Women and men differ in their pursuit of careers in STEM owing to biological differences in mathematics aptitude.

However, little evidence supports such claims, they said.

Some studies of Children and adults show gender differences in mathematics performance but in those studies it is impossible to disentangle intrinsic, biological differences from sociocultural influences, researchers stated.

As part of the early Biology of mathematics and gender study, researchers tested for gender differences in the neural processes of mathematics in young Children.

They measured 3–10-year-old Children’s neural development with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during naturalistic viewing of mathematics education videos.

They also implemented both frequentist and Bayesian analyses that quantify gender similarities and differences in neural processes.

Across all analyses girls and boys showed significant gender similarities in neural functioning, indicating that boys and girls engage the same neural system during mathematics development.

Is Running, Even Just Once a Week Better Than No Running? Here’s What Researchers Found

Researchers in their study discovered that any amount of running is linked to a significantly lower risk of death from any cause.

The study however discovered that it is not clear how good running is for staving off the risk of death from any cause and particularly from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

According to a new study, any amount of running is linked to a significantly lower risk of death from any cause.

The study that published in the “British Journal of Sports Medicine” however discovered that it is not clear how good running is for staving off the risk of death from any cause and particularly from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Researchers claimed that their meta-analysis showed that running participation is associated with 27%, 30% and 23% lower risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality respectively, compared with no running.

A meta-regression analysis showed no significant dose–response trends for weekly frequency, weekly duration, pace and the total volume of running, they said.

Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in Population health and longevity, the findings showed.

Any amount of running, even just once a week, is better than no running, but higher doses of running may not necessarily be associated with greater mortality benefits, researchers added.
