Betriebliche Mitbestimmung

Betriebliche Mitbestimmung, or works council participation, is a system in Germany that allows employees a voice in company decision-making. It ensures workers have representatives who can influence important issues like working conditions, safety, and company policies. This collaboration between management and employee representatives aims to promote fair treatment, improve communication, and balance interests within the workplace. The system is legally structured to encourage cooperation, fostering a participative environment where employees’ perspectives are considered in organizational decisions.
