Betriebsrat

A Betriebsrat is a workers' council found in German workplaces. It is a group elected by employees to represent their interests in discussions with management. The Betriebsrat addresses issues such as working conditions, pay, and workplace policies. It plays a crucial role in promoting communication and collaboration between employees and employers, ensuring that workers' rights are respected. The council can influence company decisions and advocate for improvements, fostering a more democratic and equitable workplace environment. This structure is part of Germany's commitment to social partnership and employee representation in business affairs.
