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 “reorganization” 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 reorg itself to the exit packages employees will receive.

Your Works Council Will:

• Explain when a reorganisation 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 what you've learned to influence outcomes

Works Council Fundamentals training is a required pre-requisite to Restructuring 101 training. This training can be paired with a day of Negotiations 101 training, where your WoCo practices negotiating the elements of a reorg. This training can be done for the full Works Council, or small groups/committees.
