Staff Councils at HNEE

The staff councils advocate for the interests of employees at HNEE. They serve as the primary point of contact for questions, concerns, and suggestions, ensuring that employees’ perspectives are represented in the university’s decision-making processes.

Their tasks include:

Co-Determination and Exchange

• Organising staff meetings
• Participating in decisions relevant to the university

Supporting Employees

• Receiving and forwarding concerns and complaints
• Promoting compliance with employees’ rights and protective regulations

Equal Opportunities

• Supporting the integration and development of employees with severe disabilities, in collaboration with the representative body for employees with severe disabilities

The staff councils work in close cooperation with the relevant university departments. Their work is guided by legal regulations, collective agreements, and other provisions. The Staff Representation Act of the State of Brandenburg (PersVG) governs the co-determination and participation rights of staff councils.

The staff councils are available to employees for questions, concerns, and suggestions.
