Abstract: For works councils, the topic of work intensification is an important field of action. They see limiting work intensification as being one of the biggest challenges for workplace representation. For years, there have been calls for a reduction of the workload, especially through the recruitment of more staff, adequate leadership and better health and safety. The findings of the WSI Works Council Surveys 2018 reported in this article make clear that in addition to the high volume of work and the increased expectations of performance, operational conditions such as permanent staff shortages or restructuring are also blamed for work intensification within companies. Furthermore, the representative findings show that although some companies have taken steps towards doing something about work intensification, there is little evidence of any coordinated strategies to date.
