Employee Council LLInC
As the Employee Council of LLInC, we represent the interests of all LLInC staff. We monitor issues such as employee wellbeing and workload, and we review important documents such as budgets and business plans.
On all topics which cross our plates we use the views and feedback of LLInC employees to give advice to the Management Team and to take initiatives to improve the working environment.
Examples of our work so far include:
- Making improvements to lactation rooms;
- Initiating a brainstorming on improving connections between colleagues;
- Starting a support group for working parents.
We send updates on our work in a monthly newsletter to all LLInC employees.
Our aim is to make a more vibrant, resilient workplace for everyone who works at LLInC! Our efforts to strengthen a human-centered culture are, of course, done not only by the Dienstraad members but in collaboration with LLInC staff.

Other resources
Our work deals mainly with collective issues affecting employees. We don’t handle issues such as individual disputes with colleagues or questions about the labour agreement (CAO). When we can’t help directly, we will refer you to other resources such as advice and counselling for workplace issues and the unions.
