IR Share organised our first ‘all-in-one’ training course for the Suez EWC in 2023, in Brussels
We took care of accommodation, catering, breaks, visits to European institutions and training modules! Since this successful event, we have been approached by Engie for the same full service in 2024 and 2025, also in Brussels, as well as by Dassault Systèmes for the educational and interpretation aspects of their training in Lisbon in 2024 and by Kohler for remote training in 2024.
Why This Training Matters
Take the pressure off the EWC secretariat and the company’s Industrial relations department by entrusting the organisation of training to a single point of contact: IR Share!
With our network of partners, we are able to offer a comprehensive educational and logistical service, coordinating all service providers: searching for and booking hotels and rooms; organising visits to European institutions in conjunction with reception and security services; searching for and booking restaurants; putting together a team of interpreters and technical staff, on site or remotely, and so on...Â
