The Basic Course Works Councils in 1 day has the following program:
Before the course meeting
As a form of intake, participants are asked to fill in a questionnaire about their organisation, the Works Council, their membership and their learning goals, to enable the trainer to better respond to their situation and their questions.
The course meeting
We start the course with a short acquaintance, in which we identify the questions, problems and wishes of the participants on the basis of the completed questionnaires. The position and role of the Works Council is then discussed. What place does your Works Council occupy and how do you try to succeed? What does employee participation mean in an international organization? What is effective and what is not? What are the duties and responsibilities of a works council? How much time do you get for works council work? Why is that different for each Works Council? Do you focus on the interests of the staff or do you take the interests of the whole organization into account? How do you want to collaborate with the director?
Lunch break
The rights and duties of the Works Council play an important part in this Basic Course Works Council. You gain insight into the most important legal powers based on the Works Councils Act. We discuss the right of endorsement, the right of advice, the right of initiative and the right of information. You learn how you can successfully use these rights in practice. In which case does a subject fall under the right of advice or right of endorsement? What does an advisory procedure look like and to which information are you entitled? In addition, confidentiality and protection against dismissal are discussed.
