Employee Participation
Our clients are both employers and (central) works councils that we assist with, among other things, requests for advice and consent, the drafting of regulations or company agreements and changes to the employee participation structure. Thanks to our extensive experience, we use a sharp legal eye and an open mind to come up with solutions that work in the interest of the organization and the employees. We realize the complexity of some employee participation issues and draw on our own experience in many cases and within a large number of sectors, including in the telecom and automation sector and at healthcare institutions and housing associations.
