About
What is Newbridges ?
NewBridges is the alliance between two employee relations experts who have decided to join forces to help companies understand emerging international employee relations issues and risks and to develop solutions, anchored in social dialogue, to answer.
These actors have a unique international network in multinational companies, in international organizations (European Union, ILO, OECD, etc.), among French and international trade union organizations. They have extensive knowledge of the conditions of social dialogue in the main countries where French groups operate.
