“Week 3’s co-determination map is taped above my monitor. I would have liked one more rehearsal on severance messaging — still, the studio beat another generic leadership course.”
Samuel R. · Operations Director
Flagship course
Leadership Employment Policy Studio
Six weeks of guided practice for directors and people leads who must advise their organisations on employment policy in Germany — without pretending to be a law firm.
Learning outcomes
- Draft a leadership-ready employment policy memo in under two pages.
- Identify when works-council consultation is likely and what to prepare beforehand.
- Mark up common contract clauses with questions for counsel rather than guesses.
- Run a calm manager briefing after a sensitive people decision.
Modules
- Week 1 — Map the decision. Scope the employment question, stakeholders, and non-goals.
- Week 2 — Policy brief craft. Write for executives who will skim under time pressure.
- Week 3 — Co-determination checkpoints. Timing, documentation, and tone for structured dialogue.
- Week 4 — Contract language clinic. Offer letters, fixed terms, remote addenda.
- Week 5 — Manager briefing rehearsal. Live practice with peer critique.
- Week 6 — Integration & office hours. Bring a live case; leave with a 30-day action list.

FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. Neuralnetworklab provides educational employment consultations and leadership policy advising. Engage licensed counsel for binding legal positions.
Who should attend?
Directors, HR business partners, and founders who personally brief teams on employment changes in German entities.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not draft Sozialpläne, collective agreements, or court filings. If your case is already in formal dispute, you need counsel first; the studio will not replace that work.
