Consultative bodies

Within ING, the various consultative bodies play a key role in social dialogue. They bring employers and employees together to share information, offer advice, and make agreements. Through these bodies—such as the Works Council, the Committee for Prevention and Protection at Work, and the Trade Union Delegation—employees have a voice in decisions that directly affect their work and well-being.
