Solutions for Works Councils

Considering that operational problems often have multiple causes, we take a holistic approach. This means that we take the close links between strategy, structures and processes into account in our consultation. In doing so, we take a participatory approach. Besides sound analysis based on specialist knowledge, it is also important to us to have the acceptance and participation of the employees. In addition to solving operational problems and safeguarding locations and jobs, this is one of the fundamental components of our work. We support works councils in the whole process from the analysis phase through the concept phase right up to support in negotiations including on reconciliation of interests, a redundancy programme and company agreements. The corresponding legal basis in german labour law for this can be found in §§ 80 Section 3 and 111 of the Works Constitution Act (BetrVG).
