German Codetermination Law

German Codetermination Law allows employees to have a say in decision-making at their companies. This law requires certain companies, especially larger ones, to include workers' representatives on their supervisory boards. This means that both shareholders and employees contribute to important company decisions, such as management strategies and corporate governance. By fostering collaboration between management and workers, codetermination aims to improve workplace relations and ensure that employees' interests are considered, balancing profit motives with social responsibility. This unique system reflects Germany's commitment to integrating worker voices into corporate structures.
