Health & Safety is one of the strongest areas of Works Council power, with most topics falling under the hard right to consent. The Social & Economic Council ("The SER") thinks wellbeing is so important, they actually recommend every WoCo has a committee addressing (preventive) wellness in the workplace, and that this committee has an annual training plan in place. With sick leave rates rising in the Netherlands, and with about 25% of sick days taken being due to stress, this is a critical topic for Works Councils to be highly informed so you are ready to engage proactively.

In This Training You Will:

• Build confidence on WoCo wellbeing rights & obligations

• Understand the health & safety ecosystem of your organization

• Get an introduction to RI&E (Risk Inventory & Evaluation), Emergency Response, Prevention Officer, Company Doctor/Arbo Service, and Training Requirement for employees relating to risks

Works Council Fundamentals training is a required pre-requisite to Employee Wellbeing 101.

This training is best for a small group or committee (5 or less attendees).
