The Works Council Netherlands blog section provides essential guidance for HR leaders, executives, and employee representatives on Dutch Works Council matters.

Learn how to organise elections, prepare requests for Works Council consultation, and collaborate effectively with management under the Dutch Works Councils Act (WOR).

The articles, curated by Human in Progress, cover legal rights, Works Council consultation procedures, and best practices to strengthen dialogue between the director and the Works Council. You will also find checklists, timelines, and templates to navigate compliance confidently.

If you are setting up a new Works Council or improving cooperation with an existing one, this blog section supports members in understanding their role, legal obligations, strategic opportunities, and the evolving role of employee representation in the Netherlands.
