Abstract

The relevance of the paper is determined by the need to modernize social dialogue in Ukraine as a means of increasing the social responsibility of business organizations and a prerequisite for the country’s sustainable socio-economic development. The paper is aimed at reviewing and systematizing effective practices of modernization of social dialogue, which are revealed in the publications of foreign and Ukrainian scientists, high-ranking officials and public figures. These practices are considered from the standpoint of their expediency and the possibility of their implementation in the processes of social interaction of organizations of employees, employers and public authorities in Ukraine.A review of the foreign experience in organizing social dialogue convincingly demonstrates a fairly high level of efficiency in the European Union, which contributes to achieving a balance of interests of major economic actors, increasing their social responsibility. For Ukraine, it is expedient to introduce the European practice of the so-called broad approach to the organization of social dialogue, which provides for the expansion of its subjects at the expense of representatives of territorial entities, environmental, women’s, youth, cultural and other public organizations. The involvement of local governments, public and NGOs in solving the most important socio-economic problems will contribute to the spread of the practice of differentiating between social and public dialogue. In Ukraine, employee participation in corporate governance should be strengthened, access to shareholder income should be expanded, and institutional tools for regulating the collective bargaining process should be improved.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The development of modern civilization is characterized by dynamic technical and technological progress, gradual improvement of social and labor relations, and the growing contradictions between labor and capital, a partial return to the liberal ideas of the era of “wild” capitalism. Corporate social responsibility is based on the idea that the contradiction between the personal interest of business (profit) and the interests of society (stability, employment, decent work, successful development for the majority) should be addressed by business structures for the benefit of society as a whole as a system, of which business organizations are an integral part. The achievement of such results is possible only with the formation of a socially responsible environment under the influence of active institutional actions of social dialogue and partnership between the state, business and civil society institutions. The implementation of the main ideas of sustainable development will be more effective due to the modernization of social dialogue as the main platform that contributes to the interests and needs of the main social actors
