Restructuring 101
Don’t wait for a restructuring to happen to get trained on the Works Council’s critical role in organizational change. You will learn about what constitutes a “restructuring” in the first place, how the Works Council should be involved, strategies for effectiveness, which types of measures you can negotiate and most importantly, how to have an actual influence - from the impact and scope of the restructuring itself to the exit packages employees will receive.
Your Works Council Will:
Explain when a restructuring requires Works Council involvement
Identify when a change becomes significant
Assess significance using a clear, practical test
Identify social plans, voluntary leave schemes, & separation agreement terms
Consider the different needs of diverse employee groups
Use these insights to influence outcomes
