Redundancy process consultation

A field map for employment consultations in Germany

Use this page to orient before you join a course or book a briefing with Chat Networking.

Why consultation quality matters

When a German employer plans operational redundancies, consultation is not a formality. Works councils, managers, and employees need consistent information about timing, criteria, and what remains undecided. Poor consultation language creates rumours faster than any spreadsheet can correct them.

Stages we teach against

  1. Internal planning and role mapping
  2. Works council information and consultation
  3. Social plan and selection criteria discussions
  4. Individual conversations and written follow-up
  5. Handoff to counsel when disputes emerge

Where Chat Networking fits

We train the communication and documentation layer. Our flagship course, German Redundancy Process Essentials, walks each stage with worksheets. If you need a lighter start, request an Orientation Call on the contact page.
