About CouncilWorks

Training, advice and consulting for Works Councils and executives in the Netherlands, focused on influence, alignment and collaboration.

We support Works Councils and executives in complex processes such as reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions and employment matters. From advisory and consent procedures to negotiations, we help you navigate every step with confidence and clarity.

We also assist tech, fintech and other fast-growing scale-ups in establishing Works Councils from A to Z, ensuring a strong start, clear positioning and lasting impact.

Our team consists of experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of employee participation and extensive experience guiding complex advisory and consent procedures as well as negotiations. We have worked on both sides of the table, understanding the challenges, dilemmas and perspectives of both Works Councils and executive teams. We recognise the variety of interests at play and work collaboratively towards solutions that truly work.

With deep insight, a strategic mindset and a balanced, constructive approach, we help organizations build stronger dialogue and achieve decisions that are better supported and more sustainable.

Stronger decisions, together.
