AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoGerman Auto Industry & Jobs: Germany’s carmakers are scrambling to keep underused plants running as weak demand, EV transition pressure and fast-rising Chinese competition bite; one emerging idea is “partnering” with Chinese manufacturers on European production lines, with Volkswagen explicitly open to the concept while it cuts capacity and jobs. Workforce & Fair Mobility: The European Labour Authority warns that labour shortages, undeclared work and migrant exploitation are reshaping European jobs, stressing that workers need skills, information and protection as digitalisation and AI transform roles. Energy & Climate Diplomacy: Australia’s climate minister heads to Bonn, Germany, to set up energy-security talks ahead of COP31, framing clean power and electrification as a route to a more sovereign, secure energy system. Employment Policy Watch: Germany’s labour market is also under strain from rising poverty and discrimination claims, while EU pay-transparency rules still leave some countries missing deadlines. Global Context for HR Leaders: A Lufthansa Boeing 787 nose-gear collapse in Frankfurt injured employees, adding to the week’s reminders that workplace safety and operational risk management stay central for employers.
