Many Works Councils want to be more proactive. They no longer want to wait for the Director's suggestions and respond to them; they want to be taking the lead and engaging in the conversation with the Director. Between 'wanting' and actually 'doing', there is a world of difference. After training, the participants frequently come to the conclusion that 'the Works Council should be more proactive'. Only to conclude during the next evaluation that this intention hasn't materialized.

so: YOU have to get started!
Works Council members should not only express their intentions. They should do something about it: taking action and getting things done. One good way to realize this is to look outside the company's boundaries, literally and figuratively speaking. That sounds easier said than done. How do you do this?
Some time ago, we developed a two-day training for this purpose, in cooperation with a Works Council in the automotive industry. The aim was to motivate all Works Council members to step outside their safety zone and explore the world. During this two-day training, two experts gave guest presentations.
experts as guest speakers
Wim Bens of Dinalog, the first speaker, looked at the logistical future and the role of the automotive industry. He gave significant insight into the world of logistics in the Netherlands, the rest of the world, and the role of 'wheels' in this industry. He asked the question: does the customer buy a brand, or do they buy the best and cheapest 'wheels' to transport their products? Finally, he talked about how 'marketing a brand' influences the other layers of the population. After all, customers are directly affected by this influence.
Talentmanager's Bert Goos was the second speaker; he talked about the external developments in the HR policy. After his presentation, the training focussed on the actions that the Works Council should take to become more proactive. From 'far away' to 'a little closer' to 'how do we implement this?'
