The Works Council is an independent employee representation body, with its election process, objectives, and powers defined by the Act of 7 April 2006 on Information and Consultation of Employees. The Council consists of seven members, elected in general elections open to all Bank employees.
In accordance with this Act, the employer provides the Works Council with information regarding:
- The Bank’s activities and financial standing, including anticipated changes;
- The employment situation, workforce structure, and planned changes, as well as measures to maintain employment levels;
- Actions that may result in significant changes to work organisation or employment conditions.
Additionally, in compliance with the Act, the employer regularly informs the Works Council about the state, structure, and anticipated changes in employment and any actions that may significantly affect work organisation or employment terms. Upon request, the Bank consults with the Works Council on matters specified in the Act
The Works Council has a dedicated intranet page, where it publishes communications addressed to Bank employees.
