Questions about the webinar content

This webinar is for you if you work at a government agency in Hesse and need to take employee participation rights under the Hessian Employee Representation Act into account in your daily work. This applies, for example, if you prepare personnel decisions, hold a management position, or work in a human resources department. Even if you frequently encounter questions about co-determination, employee participation, or procedural processes, this webinar will provide you with practical knowledge about the HPVG. This will give you a solid foundation for addressing typical challenges in your day-to-day work.

In day-to-day work, it is not always immediately clear which matters are subject to participation rights. This webinar provides you with an overview of the most important circumstances for employee participation under the HPVG and highlights typical real-world examples. This will help clarify when participation is required and what requirements apply in such cases.

Participation procedures follow set processes and deadlines. If individual steps are overlooked or not initiated on time, this can complicate the rest of the process and lead to unnecessary delays. In this webinar, you’ll learn what’s important for a proper procedure and which mistakes occur particularly frequently in practice. This will help you manage participation procedures in a more structured and confident manner from the very beginning.

Hiring, transfers, and reassignments to other duties are among the most common HR measures. It is especially important to comply with the provisions of the HPVG and to take employee participation rights into account in a timely manner when making such decisions. In this webinar, you’ll learn what requirements apply in these cases and what you need to pay particular attention to in practice. This will help you better prepare for HR measures and implement them in a legally compliant manner.

Participation procedures consist of several steps, deadlines, and responsibilities. Especially when various stakeholders are involved, it can quickly become unclear what the next step is. In this webinar, you’ll learn how procedures under the HPVG are structured and what’s important when implementing them in practice. This will make the processes clearer and easier for you to follow.

A trusting partnership with the staff council can streamline many processes. In this webinar, you’ll learn in which situations employee participation is required and how early involvement can impact the course of events. This will help you work with the staff council in a more conscious and goal-oriented manner.

Many questions about the HPVG only become truly understandable when examined in the context of specific cases. That’s why this webinar combines expert input with exercises, real-world examples, and discussions with other participants. You’ll also receive resources and checklists to help you apply what you’ve learned in your day-to-day work. This creates a direct connection to the challenges you face in practice.
