Arbitration committee consultancy
In many smaller companies, management and employees are so close that joint decisions can be made and all interests can be considered in a balanced way.
Everyone pulls together.
Sometimes, however, employees choose to be represented by a committee to ensure that they are properly represented. Sometimes, the works council also makes demands that pose enormous financial and operational challenges for the company.
If no solutions are ultimately found and the opposing sides cannot reach an agreement, a conciliation committee sometimes seems to be the last resort.
Every provision in which outsiders are involved – such as in a conciliation committee – must nevertheless be sustainable. This applies to pure practicability as well as to affordability.
If the provisions of the Works Constitution Act threaten to suppress constructive cooperation, good advice can get expensive. It is especially important to be able to rely on competent, empathetic and solution-oriented consultants in such cases.
Due to my many years of negotiation and consulting practice as an HR manager and as an assessor for the management, I can draw on a wealth of experience and the lessons learned from numerous negotiations. This concerns the variety of topics as well as the handling of demands. As a consultant, together with commissioned attorneys, I can especially contribute to ensuring that provisions can be implemented at the operational level. I act alongside management, provide analytically sound and efficient support in the preparation of information relevant to negotiations, actively participate in the negotiations and assist in implementation after the negotiations have been completed.
