We also design tailor-made trainings that fit your specific needs or themes — for example on health & safety, sustainable employability, finance for Works Councils, and much more.

Personal guidance beyond the training

Our support doesn’t end when the last session does. We work with your real-life cases, use realistic role plays, and provide practical tools such as checklists and sample documents.

We also offer optional follow-up support, including reflection sessions, case discussions, or coaching on how to apply what you’ve learned in practice.

These extra steps ensure that the learning truly sticks and makes a lasting impact.

Who our Works Council trainings are for

Our trainings are designed for both new and experienced Works Councils whether you’re just starting out or navigating a complex change process.

They’re also valuable for executives and HR professionals who want to strengthen their collaboration with the Works Council.
