New to the Election Committee and have lots of questions? We provide clear, practical guidance on preparing and conducting your works council election. We offer courses covering both the simplified and the standard election procedures, with comprehensive materials and checklists to guide you through the process.
The Election Committee has been appointed—what happens next? Who is eligible to vote, which documents do you need and what deadlines apply? Our courses start with your first questions. You don’t need any prior knowledge: together, we work through the election process and clarify what needs to be done and when.
Preparing for the election together
Using practical examples, we work through the Election Committee’s tasks: from preparing the electoral roll and election notice to checking nominations, organising voting and postal voting, and counting the votes. We also cover announcing the results and inviting members to the first meeting of the newly elected works council. You will learn how to allocate tasks, manage deadlines and avoid common mistakes.
Staying on track with course materials and checklists
You receive comprehensive course materials and practical checklists to help you review each step and check your preparations. These help you keep track of deadlines and tasks and provide a reliable reference after the course.
Focused on your workplace
In our in-house courses, we take time to address your questions and the particular circumstances of your establishment, such as multiple sites, shift work or employees working from home. Together, we apply what you have learned to your election preparations, so you know what to do next and can approach your role with confidence.
