A work council or staff representation increases involvement of employees in your company. With a representative body in place employers hear what is going on in the company much sooner. The representative body is a discussion partner during adaption and change processes. It creates the support needed to implement changes in organization and employment conditions.
In many cases an employer is legally required to install a work council and here we can offer support as well. We help you establish regulations, procedures regarding work council elections and registration of the work council with the proper authorities. During this process we also include the legal requirements a work council has to meet.
We also inform you about the functioning of a work council, because for some changes in organization and employment conditions the work council has approval rights, recommendation rights, initiative rights and/or information rights. Dismissal protection, leave for training, and the employer making facilities available are issues for the work council as well.
