PSA’s Global Works Council has added representatives of the IG Metall, Unite, UGT, NSZZ Solidarnosc, PRO GE and Jármugyártók Szakszervezeti Bizottsága trade unions, which act on behalf of Opel and Vauxhall employees.

Created in 1996, the European Group Works Council provides management and employee representatives with a forum for dialogue and discussion. Its review of the Group’s strategy, performance and outlook enables Executive Management to hear employee concerns, expectations and suggestions, as well as to initiate discussions when a major cross-functional project is in the works.

Now expanded into a Global Works Council, the body brings together 16 countries (European States plus Brazil, Argentina, Russia and China) through their elected representatives and meets once a year. The June meeting provided an opportunity to review progress on the plan, discuss new Group developments and share the human resources policy being rolled out worldwide through the Global Framework Agreement.

“The Global Council is of fundamental importance for Groupe PSA. Our model of social dialogue based on collaborative development has now been enriched by representatives of Opel and Vauxhall, which practice collaborative management,” said PSA EVP Human Resources, Digital and Real Estate, Xavier Chéreau.

Collaborative development within Groupe PSA consists in sharing strategy with employee representatives at an early stage as part of a close relationship built on trust and transparency. These discussions have led to the signing of company-wide majority agreements which enable the implementation of solutions to adjust the company, protect employees and improve performance.
