English summary

Training, Coaching & Support offers assistance for members of the staff council for (inter-)national companies in The Netherlands.

The person behind Compatent is Paul Companje, who has been a staff council member for approximately nine years in a global company (Shell). He is known with the concept of “self supporting teams” and is experienced with courses like team building, communication, negotiations and the Dutch law for staff councils; Works Council Act (WCA).

Global oriented (commercial) companies do not only have their interest in The Netherlands but also worldwide. Decisions made by these companies may result in a change of the company organization structure worldwide in- or excluding the Dutch part. When the Dutch part of the company is involved, the company has to comply according to the Dutch law of enterprises (WCA). They have to consult their staff council. Conflicts of interest between the representative of the company (bestuurder) and the local staff council can then be a real issue. Compatent can play an imported role as facilitator in these kind of situations where global changes hit the Dutch part of the company in preparation and during events.

Possible situations are e.g.;

  • Reorganizations on a worldwide level.
  • Changing local orientated services (i.e. IT and finance) to centralized services.

These training sessions take normally 1 – 3 days depending on the programm.
