FAQ
What are the main mission of IR Share?
IR Share’s mission is to support social dialogue by providing research, training and impartial information to both parties of the employment relationship. We help employers, trade unions, and policymakers stay informed about developments in legislation, case law, best practices, and social dialogue.
Is IR Share an independent organisation?
Yes. IR Share is an independent company. It is 100% owned by its founder, which acts as its single shareholder. All its actions are guided solely by its clients and professional ethics. IR Share is therefore not influenced by any trade union or employers’ organisation, nor by any political party.
How is IR Share financed?
To ensure its independence, IR Share relies solely on its clients. Its main source of revenue comes from the studies and research it carries out for the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound). The EU agency, whose tripartite composition guarantees its independence, represented around 25% of turnover in 2024.
Similarly, the subscriptions to the IR Notes newsletter which provides information for more than a hundred organisations, represents 26% of turnover in 2024. Lastly, training courses provided for various European works councils or managers in charge of European works councils also maintain IR Share’s finance (38%). IR Share does not sell advertising, market its subscriber and client database, or receive subsidies.
Does IR Share comply with GDPR and data protection laws?
Yes. IR Share complies fully with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We work with an external Data Protection Office (DPO) and cybersecurity expert to guarantee secure and lawful data processing.
Does IR Share provide expertise?
Yes.
With many years of experience in transnational social relations, IR Share sometimes provides assignments that go beyond training activities. IR Share can, for instance, provide specialised support to improve the functioning of a European Works Council or a Special Negotiation Body. These tasks are carried out with the sole aim of facilitating social dialogue in accordance with the rights conferred on employee and management representatives by the European Works Councils Directive.
