Its task is to consult on  economic matters with the employer and inform the Works Council. In order for the Finance Committee to fulfil this role effectively\, a sound knowledge of business management\, corporate planning and key financial figures is essential. Our seminar provides a practical introduction to the basics of Finance Committee work and gives participants the tools they need to competently evaluate and strategically utilise economic information. \nRights and duties of the Finance Committee\nAccording to Sec.s 106 – 110 WCA\, the Finance Committee has extensive rights to information and consultation. Our seminar teaches how these rights can be used effectively to recognise a company’s economic developments at an early stage and assess the potential impact on the workforce. Topics include \n\nEstablishment and tasks of the Finance Committee\nInformation procurement and processing\nCooperation with the Works Council and management\nRights of the Finance Committee in the event of alterations\n\nSeminar content: Business management knowledge for Finance Committees\nThe seminar provides practical knowledge on the most important business management topics that are relevant to the work of the Finance Committee. These include \n\nAnalysis of annual financial statements: balance sheet\, income statement\, management report\nShort-term income statement and controlling\nKey figure systems for company valuation\nInvestment and financial planning\nPersonnel planning and its economic effects\n\nUsing practical examples and case studies\, participants learn how to interpret key economic figures and how to use their findings for co-determination in the company. \nEnforcement of information and counselling rights\nThe management does not always provide the Finance Committee with the necessary information. In such cases\, it is important to know and enforce your own rights. The seminar will cover the following topics: \n\nDealing with attempts at obstruction\nCompany agreements on economic co-determination\nLegal options for enforcing information rights\n\nTraining formats\nThe seminar is aimed at members of the Finance Committee and Works Councils who wish to deepen their business management knowledge and utilise their co-determination rights in a targeted manner. Depending on requirements\, we offer introductory seminars as well as in-depth training on specific topics. The training courses are designed as one- to five-day events\, with three-day seminars being particularly popular. \nUse our expert knowledge to optimise your Finance Committee work in a targeted manner and actively help shape economic decisions! \nYour Registration\nRegister here\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is possible before passing a resolution to reserve your seat.

SUMMARY:BR II - Participation in individual staff measures and personnel planning
DESCRIPTION:Training Costs: € 1.160\,00\nDay Delegate Rate (total): € 200\,00 \nRegister here\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is possible before passing a resolution to reserve your seat.

Whether hiring new employees\, transfers\, reorganisations or dismissals – the works council has far-reaching participation rights. In addition\, personnel planning involves long-term strategic considerations that have a direct impact on the workforce. In this training\, we provide practical information on how works councils can effectively utilise their right to participate in individual personnel measures and strategic personnel planning and how the individual employment relationship of employees is linked to the collective participation rights of the committee. \nPrinciples of co-determination for individual personnel measures\nThe Works Constitution Act (WCA) provides for comprehensive participation rights of the works council in individual personnel measures. These include in particular \n\nRecruitment: Influence on selection procedures and staffing decisions\nTransfers and reorganisations: Co-determination in the event of changes to the area of activity\nDismissals: Rights of the works council in dismissal proceedings\n\nThis training uses case studies and practical exercises to develop concrete procedures for enforcing co-determination rights. It will also highlight how the individual rights of employees are linked to the collective co-determination rights of the works council. \nPersonnel planning – strategies for the future\nIn addition to the individual measures\, personnel planning also plays an important role. This involves the forward-looking organisation of: \n\nPersonnel requirements planning: influencing recruitment strategies\nPersonnel development measures: Design of further training and qualification programmes\nWorking time and employment models: flexibilisation and job security\n\nThe aim of this training is to provide works council members with the necessary knowledge and tools to take a proactive role in personnel planning and to understand its significance for the individual employment relationship and for the workforce as a whole. \nTraining and advice for successful works council work\nThis training is aimed at works council members who wish to deepen their knowledge of personnel matters and apply it in practice. \nThe training focusses on the following topics: \n\nRights and obligations of the works council in personnel decisions\nCo-determination in hiring\, transfers and dismissals\nClassification and regrouping issues\nParticipation in strategic personnel planning and development\nParticipation rights in retraining and further training measures\nPractical case handling and enforcement strategies\n\nDetailed Training Contents\n\nIndividual staff measures\n\n\nOverview of the legal standards in the Works Constitution Act\nDefinition of recruitment\, transfer\, classification and reclassification (Sec. 99 WCA)\nProvisional personnel measures (Sec. 100 WCA)\nEnforcement options of the works council (Sec. 101 WCA)\nProcedure and deadlines\n\n\nTerminations and Dismissals\n\n\nTypes of employment relationships and types of termination – grounds for dismissals\nInvolvement of the works council in ordinary and extraordinary dismissals\nProcedural issues and compliance with deadlines\nThe works council’s objection to dismissals and its legal consequences (Sec. 102 WCA)\n\n\nPersonnel planning\n\n\nFrom recruitment to resource planning: elements of personnel planning\nPersonnel planning as part of corporate planning\nInvolvement of the works council in the determination of general Assessment principles (Sec. 94 WCA)\nGuidelines on personnel selection (Sec. 95 WCA)\nCrisis scenario: risk analysis as the basis for personnel measures\nIdentification of training needs and participation in training programmes (Sec. 96 – 98 WCA)\nHow to promote and safeguard employment (Sec. 92a WCA)\n\n\nYour Registration\nRegister here\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is possible before passing a resolution to reserve your seat.

SUMMARY:Co-determination in IT – and AI as a Special Case
DESCRIPTION:Training Costs: € 1.050\,00\nDay Delegate Rate (total): € 150\,00 \nRegister hereOnly a few spots remain. Please contact seminare@g-ibs.de to inquire about availability.\nCo-determination in the digital workplace – rights\, instruments and practical action\nWhat rights does the works council have when the employer introduces new IT systems? How can employee representatives ensure that digital tools are used in ways that are fair\, transparent and compliant with data protection law? And what changes when the system in question is not simply new software\, but an application powered by artificial intelligence? \nThe digitalisation of the workplace confronts works councils with growing demands: new IT systems are introduced in rapid succession\, data on employee behaviour and performance is collected on an ever-larger scale\, and AI-based applications are increasingly used to support or automate operational decisions. This training equips works council members with the knowledge and practical tools to effectively exercise their co-determination rights in this field. \nCo-determination when IT systems are introduced – the legal framework\nThe introduction or modification of technical systems capable of monitoring employee behaviour or performance triggers mandatory co-determination rights under Sec. 87 (1) No. 6 WCA. This applies to a wide range of systems: from email and office communication platforms to time-recording tools\, workforce management systems and cloud-based collaboration environments. The works council must be involved from the outset – not merely informed after decisions have been taken. \nThe training provides a systematic overview of the relevant participation rights under the Works Constitution Act (WCA) and discusses how they interact with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Particular attention is paid to the use of works agreements as the central regulatory instrument\, including provisions on data protection\, the prohibition of performance and behaviour monitoring\, and the governance of digital working tools. \nArtificial intelligence – a special case within IT co-determination\nAI-based systems are not categorically different from other IT applications in terms of the applicable co-determination rights: the same provisions of the WCA apply. What makes AI a special case is the nature and scale of the challenges it poses: the opacity of algorithmic decision-making\, the depth of data processing involved\, and the potential for far-reaching effects on working conditions\, work design\, qualification requirements and employment. \nThis training therefore provides an introductory overview of AI co-determination – sufficient to recognise AI applications in the workplace\, understand the works council’s basic rights in this context\, and identify the implications for work design and skills requirements. The specific legal\, technical and regulatory complexities of AI systems require dedicated in-depth training and will be covered in a separate training on artificial intelligence. \nOur training covers the following topics:\n\nCo-determination rights when IT systems are introduced or modified (Sec. 87 (1) No. 6 WCA)\nData protection requirements: GDPR\, BDSG and their relevance for works council work\nWorks agreements as the central regulatory instrument: content\, scope and drafting\nProhibiting performance and behaviour monitoring through works agreements\nOSH aspects of digital working tools and always-on culture\nReviewing and updating existing works agreements in the light of new technologies\nIntroduction to AI co-determination: distinguishing AI from conventional software\, basic rights under the WCA\, and implications for work design and qualification requirements\n\nDetailed Training Contents\n1. Introduction to the works council’s role in digital transformation \n\nDigitalisation and its effects on working conditions\nTypes of IT systems: office communication\, workforce management\, collaboration tools and beyond\nRisks for employees: performance monitoring\, data collection and erosion of privacy\nThe works council as a shaping force: from reactive involvement to proactive co-determination\n\n2. Co-determination rights when IT systems are introduced \n\nMandatory co-determination under Sec. 87 (1) No. 6 WCA: scope and conditions\nFurther relevant participation rights: Sec. 80\, 90\, 92a WCA\nTiming of involvement: why the works council must be engaged from the planning stage\nData protection law and its interaction with WCA co-determination rights\n\n\nGDPR and BDSG: key provisions for works council work\nEmployee data protection: permissible data processing\, purpose limitation and data minimisation\n\nEnforcement options: conciliation committee and labour jurisdiction\n\n\n\n3. Works agreements on IT systems \n\nThe works agreement as the principal regulatory instrument\nKey provisions and drafting principles\nProhibition of performance and behaviour monitoring\nData protection and permissible use of employee data\nOSH aspects of digital working tools\nGoverning the use of mobile devices and remote access\n\nReviewing and updating existing works agreements in the light of new technologies\nCase studies and practical exercises\n\n\n\n4.

And how can we best implement these in practice? \nThis introductory training for newly elected works council members provides basic knowledge about the central tools of works council work. It also provides guidance on how to organise decision-making processes in order to enable the committee to best represent the interests of employees. \nWorks Constitution Act – legal basis\nThe Works Constitution Act (WCA) forms the legal basis for the establishment and organisation of works council work. It serves to promote democracy and employee participation in companies. In addition to protecting works council members\, the WCA regulates detailed procedural processes to ensure the democratic nature of works council work. \nIn this training\, we will familiarise ourselves with these basics and talk about the role\, self-image\, tasks and duties of works council members in the context of their mandate. \nCo-determination as a central task\nCo-determination in social\, personnel and economic matters is a central component of works council work. We provide an introduction to the Works Constitution Act and the German industrial relations system. The general tasks of the works council according to Sec. 80 WCA are dealt with and practical suggestions for the organisation of works council work are given. In addition\, the basic rights of the works council – from information rights and consultation rights to co-determination rights – are discussed and questions regarding their enforcement are addressed. \nTraining and counselling – knowledge transfer for successful works council work\nIn order to successfully organise the work of the works council\, it is essential that members receive sound training. \nOur training focusses on the following topics:\n\nIntroduction to German labour and employment law with a focus on the WCA\nGeneral tasks and rights of the works council\nProtection and rights of individual works council members\nThe organisation of works council work\nParticipation rights of the works council\nEnforcement of participation\n\nDetailed Training Contents\n\nIntroduction to the work of a works council member\n\n\nThe works council in the German system of co-determination\nFundamentals of labour law – introduction to the German legal system and industrial relations\nThe Works Constitution Act in the context of German labour law\nIndividual and collective labour law\nQuestions on the positioning of the works council in the enterprise in relation to the employer and the trade union\n\n\nManagement of the works council\n\n\nGeneral tasks of the works council (Sec. 80 WCA)\nManagement of the Works Council\, inter alia:\n\nForm and content of meeting invitations\nRequirements for an agenda\nFormal requirements for the resolutions of the works council\nMinutes of the works council meetings\nThe monthly meeting (Sec. 74 WCA)\n\n\nExemption of works council members for necessaryl work\nTraining entitlements of works council members (Sec. 37 (6) WCA\, Sec. 37 (7) WCA)\nThe role of the works council chairperson\nThe committees of the works council\n\n\nParticipation rights of the works council\n\n\nInformation rights\nConsultation rights\nCo-determination rights (Sec. 87 WCA)\nCase studies and practical exercises\n\n\nEnforcement options\n\n\nThe conciliation committee (Sec. 76 WCA)\nLabour jurisdiction\n\n\nInformation policy of the works council towards employees\n\n\nThe works meeting\nOpen office hours (Sec. 39 WCA)\nConfidentiality obligations of the works council: trade and business secrets and data protection Act\n\n\nYour Registration\nRegister here\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is possible before passing a resolution to reserve your seat.

And how can we best implement these in practice? \nThis introductory training for newly elected works council members provides basic knowledge about the central tools of works council work. It also provides guidance on how to organise decision-making processes in order to enable the committee to best represent the interests of employees. \nWorks Constitution Act – legal basis\nThe Works Constitution Act (WCA) forms the legal basis for the establishment and organisation of works council work. It serves to promote democracy and employee participation in companies. In addition to protecting works council members\, the WCA regulates detailed procedural processes to ensure the democratic nature of works council work. \nIn this training\, we will familiarise ourselves with these basics and talk about the role\, self-image\, tasks and duties of works council members in the context of their mandate. \nCo-determination as a central task\nCo-determination in social\, personnel and economic matters is a central component of works council work. We provide an introduction to the Works Constitution Act and the German industrial relations system. The general tasks of the works council according to Sec. 80 WCA are dealt with and practical suggestions for the organisation of works council work are given. In addition\, the basic rights of the works council – from information rights and consultation rights to co-determination rights – are discussed and questions regarding their enforcement are addressed. \nTraining and counselling – knowledge transfer for successful works council work\nIn order to successfully organise the work of the works council\, it is essential that members receive sound training. \nOur training focusses on the following topics:\n\nIntroduction to German labour and employment law with a focus on the WCA\nGeneral tasks and rights of the works council\nProtection and rights of individual works council members\nThe organisation of works council work\nParticipation rights of the works council\nEnforcement of participation\n\nDetailed Training Contents\n\nIntroduction to the work of a works council member\n\n\nThe works council in the German system of co-determination\nFundamentals of labour law – introduction to the German legal system and industrial relations\nThe Works Constitution Act in the context of German labour law\nIndividual and collective labour law\nQuestions on the positioning of the works council in the enterprise in relation to the employer and the trade union\n\n\nManagement of the works council\n\n\nGeneral tasks of the works council (Sec. 80 WCA)\nManagement of the Works Council\, inter alia:\n\nForm and content of meeting invitations\nRequirements for an agenda\nFormal requirements for the resolutions of the works council\nMinutes of the works council meetings\nThe monthly meeting (Sec. 74 WCA)\n\n\nExemption of works council members for necessaryl work\nTraining entitlements of works council members (Sec. 37 (6) WCA\, Sec. 37 (7) WCA)\nThe role of the works council chairperson\nThe committees of the works council\n\n\nParticipation rights of the works council\n\n\nInformation rights\nConsultation rights\nCo-determination rights (Sec. 87 WCA)\nCase studies and practical exercises\n\n\nEnforcement options\n\n\nThe conciliation committee (Sec. 76 WCA)\nLabour jurisdiction\n\n\nInformation policy of the works council towards employees\n\n\nThe works meeting\nOpen office hours (Sec. 39 WCA)\nConfidentiality obligations of the works council: trade and business secrets and data protection Act\n\n\nYour Registration\nRegister here\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is possible before passing a resolution to reserve your seat.
