EUnited
The focus is on people
The European Engineering Industries Association (EUnited) is calling on companies and organizations to support the 'Good Work Charter' developed by the European robotics industry.
The charter defines ten principles for the progressive design of workplaces. In a world where people are working ever more closely with robots, it serves as a guide for actively pursuing a human-centered approach to automation. By joining the supporter campaign, companies are making a public commitment to implementing the principles of the Charter in the workplace.
"The Charter for Good Work is a pioneering initiative for sustainability and corporate social responsibility for the future of work in Europe," says Wilfried Eberhardt, Chairman of EUnited Robotics.
EUnited wants companies that use robotics in their production, as well as manufacturers of robotics and automation technology, to sign a declaration of support. Signatories are invited to submit concrete case studies that demonstrate how they are putting the principles of the charter into practice.
The charter calls for robots to relieve people in the workplace, especially from monotonous, dangerous and dirty work: People should not work like machines. Robotics solutions should assist and open up opportunities for professional development for the workforce. A total of ten key areas define how human-centered workplaces can be achieved with a high degree of automation.
