Works-council packs

A consultation briefing is a document a company usually writes by hand, once per jurisdiction, from whatever the transformation team can remember. These are generated from the same records the rest of the product runs on, which means they cannot quietly disagree with the estate they describe.

The register

Seven documents, one per jurisdiction holding released capacity. Each one names its counterpart, the roles it covers, what the company is committing to monitor and how a person disputes a decision an agent made about their work.

2 still in draft · 1 jurisdiction has no document at all
WCP-DE-01GermanyAwaiting responseBinding18 roles · 383.4 FTE

All German-contracted roles in the fourteen functions, covering the sub-functions where an agent now holds a decision that a person held before. The pack is filed as a co-determination matter under section 87 paragraph 1 number 6 of the Works Constitution Act, on the reading that any system capable of measuring individual performance is co-determined whether or not the employer intends to use it that way.

Issued on 12 June with a twenty-one day response expectation. The response has not arrived and the pack is now well past that window. Nothing in the German estate can move to a higher autonomy stage until it does, which means agents whose evaluation evidence would otherwise support a promotion are held where they are.

WCP-FR-01FranceConcludedBinding25 roles · 444.7 FTE

All French-contracted roles across the fourteen functions. Filed as an information-consultation on a project modifying working conditions and work organization, together with the data protection notice required before any processing that observes how work is performed.

EV-WCP-FR-01

Favorable opinion delivered on 12 May 2026 with three conditions: the risk weighting used for quality sampling is disclosed to the CSE whenever it changes; the French monitoring notice is reissued to every employee within thirty days of any change to decision rights; and a joint review is held twelve months after go-live. All three conditions are recorded here, and the first is the reason the sampling weight is treated as a policy change rather than a configuration change.

WCP-BR-01BrazilDraftBinding17 roles · 407.1 FTE

Brazilian-contracted roles in the shared service and customer-facing sub-functions. The collective agreement in force requires negotiation before any change to how individual performance is evaluated, and the data protection authority has required specific clauses on automated processing since August 2024.

Owner

Yolanda Reeves · Chief Human Resources Officer

No evidence reference

This pack has never been issued. It has sat in draft since 2 June while the Brazilian sub-functions continued to move, which makes Brazil the most exposed jurisdiction in the estate: there are live role transitions here whose consultation duty is binding and unmet. Nothing on this page changes that; it only makes it visible.

WCP-UK-01United KingdomIssuedVoluntary20 roles · 436.4 FTE

United Kingdom roles across the fourteen functions. There is no standing works-council duty here. The pack is issued because the redundancy consultation duty bites where twenty or more roles at one establishment are at risk, and because the forum was promised the same disclosure the German and French bodies receive.

Yolanda Reeves · Chief Human Resources Officer

No evidence reference

The establishment question is unanswered and it is not a technicality: the redundancy threshold and therefore the length of the consultation period both depend on the answer. Employment counsel has the question and has not returned a view.

WCP-US-01United StatesIssuedVoluntary57 roles · 1,130.5 FTE

United States roles across all fourteen functions. There is no consultation duty of any kind here. The pack is issued voluntarily so that the largest affected population in the estate is not the least informed, and so that the same disclosure standard applies everywhere the program runs.

The largest affected population sits behind the weakest obligation. Everything in this pack is a promise rather than a duty, and the council has asked the one question that tests whether the promise is real.

WCP-SG-01SingaporeDraftVoluntary8 roles · 200.2 FTE

Singapore roles, concentrated in the shared service tower. No statutory consultation duty applies. The pack is drafted to the same standard as the others.

No evidence reference

There is no pack. This record exists so that the absence is on the register rather than off it. The award consultation clause has not been read against the affected roles, no counterpart meeting has been requested, and the Australian transitions in the ledger are proceeding without any of that having happened.

What the counterparts have asked

Open questions carried by the issued packs. A question stays here until the pack records an answer, which is the only reason this list is short.

WCP-DE-01GermanyGesamtbetriebsrat

Does the evidence record constitute a technical device for monitoring performance within the meaning of section 87 paragraph 1 number 6, given that it records the human actor and not the agent alone?

WCP-DE-01GermanyGesamtbetriebsrat

What happens to the co-determination agreement if the autonomy ceiling on a German sub-function is later raised?

WCP-DE-01GermanyGesamtbetriebsrat

Will the works council receive the adversarial test results, or only the summary?

WCP-BR-01BrazilEmployer

Does the union treat the agent rationale as sufficient reasoning under the data protection clauses, or does it require a natural-language explanation authored by a person?

WCP-UK-01United KingdomEmployee Consultation Forum

What counts as one establishment for the purpose of the twenty-role threshold when the affected population is distributed across three sites and a remote cohort?

WCP-UK-01United KingdomEmployee Consultation Forum

If the unplaced count in a sub-function rises after this pack is issued, is the pack reissued or amended?

WCP-US-01United StatesEmployee Advisory Council

Will the council be consulted before an autonomy ceiling is raised, or informed after?

Actions

What is waiting on a person

A consultation pack is a legal instrument in several of the jurisdictions this estate operates in.

Operations

What this desk is allowed to start

A surface that only reports is not operable. This is the work this page can set in motion, and the bound it runs into.

Trigger and bound

This desk can assemble a pack from the transitions, agents and decision rights it covers, and track the response dates. It cannot issue a pack, respond on behalf of a body, or conclude a consultation. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and every pack here was reviewed by named counsel before issue.

Is policy and strategy coming to fruition

Whether the written intent is holding here

1 of 7 consultation packs are concluded. 60 role transitions require one.

Not holding on the record

The written position is that no role change lands ahead of the consultation it requires. 60 transitions carry a consultation requirement and 7 packs exist to cover them, of which 1 are concluded and 1 have not been opened. Where a pack is binding rather than advisory, proceeding without a concluded response is not a delay, it is a breach — and the record here does not enforce that, it only shows it.

What this page is, and what it is not

These packs are assembled from the live ledger rather than typed by hand, which is the point. What they are not is legal advice: the duty analysis in each pack was written by the team building the platform, not by counsel in the jurisdiction it describes.

7 packs cover 154 roles and 3,141.0 full-time equivalents — the whole estate, because the generator reads the whole ledger. 4 of them have actually reached a counterpart. 2 are sitting in draft and 1 jurisdiction has no document at all.

The one that matters is Brazil: consultation is binding there and the pack has never been issued, so 33% of the binding jurisdictions are not lawfully deployable today no matter what the benefit ledger says. 2 other packs are past the response date with no answer recorded.

Generating the document is the part a platform can do. Holding the meeting, answering the 7 open questions and living with the 14 monitoring commitments written into these packs is the part it cannot.
