Influence of employee representation on wage policy
- Employee representatives have a significant influence on wage policy. They campaign for fair wages and negotiate wage increases and other financial benefits to ensure fair pay for all employees.
Examples of successful co-determination
- One example of successful co-determination is the introduction of flexible working time models through negotiations between employee representatives and company management. If a successful result is achieved from the employees' point of view, this can improve the work-life balance of employees in the long term.
- Other examples include cooperation between the HR department, legal department and employee representatives when negotiating internal company regulations. The ANV is committed to improvements for employees.
