About

The European Works Council as an agent for change and transformation. 

Studies and surveys prove it over and over: a company with a well-functioning European Works Council weathers any storm or crisis much more efficiently. But there is more: European Works Councils have proven vital for the implementation of corporate decisions or programs.

We live in times where traditional business models and paradigms have been disrupted and everybody knows that we are at the dawn of a new era which will imply companies and organisations to rethink the way they operate and interact with their stakeholders inside and outside of their corporate borders.
As always, the key in succeeding when navigating this sea of change will be how you interact with people. Your stakeholders are watching you and they want to see corporations behave in ecologically and socially responsible ways.

During our next EWC E-conference we will dig deep into this topic by presenting the case study of the Solvay European Works Council and the Solvay Global Forum. The vision and purpose of Solvay concentrate on helping the world navigate environmental and social challenges and that means expressing the core beliefs of Solvay: responsibility, diversity & inclusion and the universal connection between human beings. In 2021, Solvay embarked on a new journey for the Solvay European Works Council and for the Solvay Global Forum. They built an EWC and an SGF Roadmap so as to align both representative bodies with corporate strategy and values.

Come and learn from an organisation that has gone through the steps to make the EWC an agent for change and transformation!
