Six Reasons for a Works Council Works council—if you don’t have one, elect one

1. Better with a Works Council

Today, representing employees’ interests means, first and foremost, fighting for job security. The works council can take the initiative itself through smart proposals such as flexible work schedules or innovation initiatives.

2. The works council ensures secure and fair working conditions

The works council advocates for greater employee participation within the workplace and the company. It ensures socially responsible working hours and provides training opportunities for all employees.

3. A works council pays off

Workplaces with a works council pay wages that are more than ten percent higher than those without an elected representative body. Low-wage earners and women benefit from this the most.
