The occasion Works council and constituency consultation

The works council wants to know what its constituency thinks about an important issue.

What you achieve
  • Quick, anonymous insight into what the constituency thinks
  • Positions that are broadly supported
  • Substantiation for advice or consent

A works council has little time and limited resources to hear its constituency. Drop-in sessions and surveys show only part of what is going on.

In a single live dialogue, colleagues respond to each other anonymously. The works council sees which positions are broadly supported and can substantiate its advice accordingly.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    The works council's question

    Together with the works council we sharpen the question, for example about a proposed decision or a change.

  2. Step 2

    The constituency dialogue

    Colleagues take part anonymously, respond to each other and vote on the positions they consider important.

  3. Step 3

    Outcome for the works council

    The works council sees what is broadly supported and uses it in its advice or in the conversation with the board.

From three core values to recognisable behaviour

More than 700 employees each described what a new culture means in their everyday work. The result became a culture compass.

Questions about works council and constituency consultation

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

What kinds of issues is this suited to?

For example a proposed reorganisation or change on which the works council gives advice. Together with works councils we are exploring which issues deliver the most.

Is anonymity guaranteed?

Yes. Each participant receives a random code instead of a name. No one can trace a message back to a person, not even the works council.

How quickly does the works council have the outcome?

You see the main themes during the session, and the report follows the same day. That way the council can respond with a substantiated position within the advice period.

Four application areas

Every application works with the same live dialogue.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
