The Lisbon strategy aims to make the EU by 2010 'the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion'. Recent research from the Foundation shows that there are companies across Europe implementing innovative employment policies, practices and agreements, and, therefore, contributing to the Lisbon strategy objectives.
These cases are examples of 'win-win situations', showing that it is possible to combine quality of work and employment with economic performance. They deal with key dimensions of the Lisbon strategy such as
business creation and entrepreneurship,

employability,

increasing the labour market participation of underrepresented groups

pay,

and
flexibility.

The involvement of the social partners at company and sectoral level is a significant aspect of the development of these policies and their outcomes.
