Flagship program in focus

Our Collective Bargaining Orientation course walks teams from first reading of a Tarifvertrag through scenario planning for works-council consultations.

You will map pay frameworks, identify negotiation levers that apply under German labour practice, and rehearse how to brief leadership without overclaiming legal certainty.

What teams take away

Orientation that respects German labour structures without turning every session into a lecture on statute numbers.

  1. 01

    Shared vocabulary for Tarif talks

    Align HR, operations, and council representatives on the same terms before a consultation begins, reducing circular debate about definitions.

  2. 02

    Scenario maps, not scripts

    Practice branching responses for wage, working-time, and classification questions that commonly appear in German employment consultations.

  3. 03

    Documentation habits that hold up

    Learn a lightweight record format so follow-up emails and minutes stay consistent with what was actually agreed in the room.

Voices from recent cohorts

Feedback tied to modules you will find in our bargaining orientation course.

“The module on reading annexes in a Tarifvertrag finally made our Freistaat Bayern site managers stop treating the table of contents as optional.”

— Lena K., HR business partner, manufacturing

“Useful pacing, though I wish the works-council role-play had run longer. Still, our first consultation after the course stayed focused on classification rather than personalities.”

— Markus, Augsburg
