To remain successful our company depends on the effective interaction of the management and the workforce who depend on each other.
CCE Europe management and employee representatives in the EWC recognise and believe in the importance of
balancing Social and Economic aspects of
our Company.
This balance between the
social and the
economical can be achieved
when everyone respects our key social and economic values and follows best practice throughout the workplace.

Putting our Values into Practice
Communication - an open forum
In order to implement a genuine "no surprise" communication policy, we must ensure that there is always two-way, open dialogue between all levels of management and employees.
Working groups made up of members of the Select Committee/EWC will be given the resources to achieve their communication goals and, at the same time, re-engineer the communication structure between members of the Select Committee.
To ensure the success of this objective, communications between management and EWC/Select Committee must be two-way, continuous and totally transparent.
Communication - the tools for success
Timetable for Select Committee Meetings:
1. Business Plan (January/February)
2. EWC Preparation (April)
3. Follow-up Meeting (September)
Plus ad hoc meeting, if required.
EWC Meeting:
This will be held once a year, plus Post-Meeting of the Select Committee.
Communication - monitoring success
As the Select Committee will be the monitoring body in this communication structure, the following three key initiatives will be implemented:
Members of the Select Committee will receive a monthly update of the Social and Economic situation. This will be provided by their National HR Manager or through a video and telephone conference with European management.
Select Committee meetings will enable members to keep abreast of developments within CCE Europe and enter into dialogue with management.
Should an initiative have potential social consequences, management will inform the Select Committee, enabling them to discuss the issue with EWC representatives. Our policy of ongoing, open communication, as part of a permanent social dialog, will allow sufficient time to collect the considered input of employee representatives before a final decision is made.
