Public employers and professional organisations have signed a compensation agreement that will benefit all public employees who have suffered from the malfunctioning Phenix payroll system. In addition to accelerated reimbursement of sums due, it provides for the payment of financial consequences and other damages suffered, as well as granting employees five days' leave.

Eurofound, an EU agency, has published, in collaboration with the ILO, a report entitled "Working conditions in a global perspective". Combining sector-specific and geographical data (from Europe, America and Asia), the report analyses seven dimensions of job quality: the physical environment, work intensity, working time quality, the social environment, skills and development, prospects, and earnings.

"Social clusters" were designed as support structures for real-world trials carried out in willing establishments. A cluster's three members include one representative each from management, staff and the medical staff. Clusters provide a link between the quality of life at work and care provision, and they provide data to the National Observatory for the Quality of Life at Work of Healthcare Professionals, which was set up in 2018.
