The study at hand presents findings from original empirical research collected through an online survey about the access to information of posting and receiving companies regarding the posting of workers. As the first of its kind, this pilot survey study provides a window into the posting information access practices, challenges, needs, and recommendations of posting and receiving companies in the construction sector. Our analysis of the survey, presented in this report, is based on the results aggregated from the five countries in which the survey was conducted, i.e., Austria, Belgium, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The overall sample consists of 121 companies recently active in the posting of workers, of which 82 posting companies and 39 receiving companies. In our analysis, we disaggregate the responses to examine any potential important differences along two dimensions of company characteristics, i.e., the type of activity conducted by the company (posting vs. receiving) and the size of the company. The details of the process of preparing and implementing the survey are provided in the INFO-POW survey manual.
