Netherlands Works Councils Act (WOR) for Risk Managers
What does Netherlands Works Councils Act (WOR) require of a Risk Manager?
The Dutch Works Councils Act: an employer with 50 or more workers must set up a works council, give it facilities, paid time, training and information, consult it twice a year, ask its advice before major decisions (including introducing an important technological facility) and obtain its consent before adopting or changing any staff arrangement on 13 subjects, including the processing of staff personal data (27(1)(k)) and any system suitable for monitoring presence, behaviour or performance (27(1)(l)); without consent the decision is void once the council invokes nullity. Under Netherlands Works Councils Act (WOR), which defines 73 controls, a Risk Manager's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
