The Added Value of European Works Councils is a book by Josée Lamers, published in 1998 by the AWVN (Algemene Werkgeversvereniging VNO-NCW) in Haarlem. The book is an early and significant contribution to the study of European Works Councils (EWCs), providing a perspective that highlights the benefits of these bodies for both management and employees.Lamers' research focuses on the concept of "added value," moving beyond the purely legal or cost-based assessments common at the time. Key insights include: Managerial Benefits: The book argues that EWCs can serve as a valuable communication channel for management in multinational companies, helping to explain corporate strategy and foster a more cohesive company culture across different countries.Information and Consultation: It examines how the EWC Directive's requirements for information-sharing and consultation can lead to more effective industrial relations when implemented constructively. Constructive Cooperation: Lamers highlights that while trade unions were primary drivers for the EWC Directive, multinational corporations (MNCs) often found significant practical benefits in their operation.
