#07 Marc-André Gimmy: Chair of the Labor Law Committee at the BRAK
In this episode of TRANSFORMENTORS®, Dr. Gunnar Binnewies of Fortlane Partners and Marc-André Gimmy of Taylor Wessing discuss a topic that is often underestimated in many companies—yet has a massive impact on transformation, leadership, and strategy: works councils and workforce reductions in practice. When companies grow, restructure, or have to reduce their workforce, management faces complex decisions:How do you handle employee participation? What leeway is actually available? And when does legal structuring become strategic steering? This episode shows why labor law is far more than just compliance—it is a key lever for business decisions, speed, and execution. The focus is on real-world case studies, structural levers for managing works council structures, differences between voluntary reduction programs and traditional social plans, as well as typical cognitive biases in management. Open, nuanced, and without legal oversimplification. A must-listen for CEOs, consultants, and executives who must not only accompany transformation but also actively shape it.
