Digitalisation and demographic change – how they are transforming employment law for companies

Ongoing digitalisation in companies is converging with a noticeable demographic shift, making employment law a strategic tool for sustainable, successful business transformation. Our latest briefing provides practical insights into how targeted training and qualifications can become a distinct competitive advantage: from customised workforce transition plans and co-determination issues to leveraging government funding opportunities such as the German Qualification Opportunities Act. For organisations looking to retain critical expertise and secure long-term talent, this briefing offers clear guidance and actionable solutions. 

Flexibility is another key to success in the transformation of work. Our briefing explains practical models such as the scalable workforce, legally compliant use of temporary workers and freelancers, as well as options for structuring working hours, compensation, place of work and the transition to retirement. Learn when flexible contractual clauses are sufficient and when formal agreements and co-determination are essential. Apart from this, the report provides a valuable outlook on new and upcoming work-related legal frameworks, including the EU AI Act, digital access rights for unions, electronic time tracking, the modernisation of works constitution law and compliant handling of GDPR requirements.
