European Employment Insights June 2025

We’re pleased to share the June edition of our European Employment Insights newsletter.

‍

This issue, curated by our Andersen team of experts, provides in-depth analysis of the latest developments in employment laws, regulations, judicial decisions, and collective agreements across 18 European countries.

‍

In this month’s European Partner Spotlight, we feature two expert perspectives.

‍

José Mota Soares, Partner at Andersen in Portugal, discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market, exploring how AI is driving demand for new job categories, reshaping traditional roles, and presenting challenges related to job displacement, workforce reskilling, and regional inequality, while also examining the implications for countries with strong employment protections such as Portugal.

‍

Kathrin Pietras, Partner at Andersen in Germany, provides an in-depth overview of the German government’s planned reforms to labor and employment law, covering proposed changes to minimum wage policy, collective bargaining requirements, working time regulations, works council rights, and digital declarations, as well as upcoming initiatives to support professional immigration, improve pension systems, and expand inclusion for disabled employees. While these reforms have not yet been enacted, they represent significant policy directions that employers should be aware of. We hope you find this edition both insightful and useful.
