An Taoiseach launched the Report of the Forum on the Workplace of the Future on 9 March 2005. The report contains 42 separate recommendations, which form the basis for a national workplace strategy. The strategy aims to create a climate conducive to supporting change and new forms of work organisation at national and organisational levels.

A high level group comprising senior representatives from a number of Departments, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Business and Employers Confederation and semi-State agencies and bodies will oversee the appropriate implementation of the national workplace strategy. I have been asked by the Taoiseach to chair this group and I expect to convene a meeting of the group in the next few weeks.
