Management and governance

A company’s executive and supervisory directors are responsible for its management. Good governance is vitally important for its business operations, as is an appropriate oversight structure. Management also frequently has to deal with staff representation within the business.

Management, oversight and corporate governance

Executive and supervisory directors represent a special dynamic in company boardrooms. It is here that matters such as good governance, the relationship between the executive and oversight bodies (the oversight structure), the resolution of managerial crises and the legal position of statutory directors (including their dismissal) feature prominently. If this complex arena is to be monitored comprehensively, a keen perception of analysis, strategy and tactics is required along with out-of-the-box solutions for complex boardroom issues. Here Dirkzwager assumes the role of a trusted adviser.

The importance of staff representation

Staff representation is becoming increasingly more important within the business community. The bodies representing employees are more aware of their rights and indispensable role in relation to numerous far-reaching decisions or proposals for them.

Decision-making building blocks
A properly structured staff representation process constitutes an important decision-making building block. It can generate support and facilitate implementation, not to mention the option of relying on it at a later stage (in legal proceedings, for example).

Wide-ranging expertise and legal assistance
Dirkzwager possesses extensive expertise for the establishment of staff representation structures and the guidance of advisory processes involving the right to consent (in the case of both the business concerned and its works council).
