Central works council – tasks, competencies, and the organisation of work

Basics and practice of work in the central works council

The role of the central works council often differs from that of the establishment’s works council. The political coordination processes between the central works council and individual works councils require particular attention, as does the information policy within the company as a whole.

It is often not clear from the outset whether an issue should be dealt with by the central works council or the individual works councils. Complex problems and projects need to be organised and dealt with in a structured way and demand the interaction of different company departments.

Every works council has been confronted with the phrase “That’s the first time I've heard that!” from management – but this happens even more frequently for central works councils. Therefore, informational work is enormously important for the success of a central works council since its role is to find a common denominator for competing interests within the company.

In this seminar, we will discuss different models for successful daily operation of the central works council, the tasks that await the new general works council member and the way this work can be organized despite the physical distance.
