Agorum Paspoort

The development compass for works councils

Under Dutch law, every works council member is entitled to at least five training days a year. The Paspoort shows which training genuinely moves a member and a council forward, and whether it pays off.

  • A short scan on phone or laptop, based on a role profile you can tailor yourself.
  • A clear report for each skill: where you are now, your goal and your next step.
  • A development plan that links your own training offer to every skill.
  • Growth over time: every assessment is kept, from baseline to today.
  • Team assessment: what the council covers together, without names.
  • Optional: an AI conversation instead of the questionnaire, and a personality questionnaire through the coach.

Agorum OR-Bureau

The works council's workspace, all year round

Council work happens alongside a regular job and is scattered across email and folders. The OR-Bureau brings it together in one place and follows the procedures laid down in the WOR.

  • Case files with the steps from the WOR, a completeness checklist and tracked deadlines.
  • Meetings: from agenda and minutes to decisions, actions and commitments.
  • AI coach panel for legal, financial and strategic questions. The AI suggests; the council decides.
  • Employee polls on a case, if the council wants them.
  • Templates and knowledge, which you can extend with your own material.
  • Council memory: knowledge stays, even after elections.

Stronger together

Learning and doing in one place

The Paspoort shows what a works council needs to learn. The OR-Bureau is where it puts that into practice. Together they keep the council moving all year, and keep you in touch with your client.

Paspoort: learning

Assess, plan and grow, for each member and as a council. Your training offer appears exactly where it fits.

OR-Bureau: doing

Case files, meetings and the workforce in one place, with AI support that the council itself confirms.

Privacy and trust

The employer pays, but doesn't look over anyone's shoulder

No individual results for the employer

Group views without names, and only once there are enough participants. Small groups are shielded.

The member decides

Members share their own results with their coach, for a limited time and revocable at any moment.

AI with boundaries

AI through a European endpoint, with a cap per client. Each document's classification determines whether the AI may read it; confidential documents never.

People decide

The AI makes suggestions. Nothing is saved until a person confirms it.

Separated per client

Once real data is involved, every client organisation gets its own database and its own keys. The employer's IT department has no access.

Honest about where we stand

The demo runs on fictitious data. Real works council data only after a DPIA and a data processing agreement.

See for yourself

Both demos run on fictitious data, and the demo apps are in Dutch. Login details are available on request. The tour shows what you see after logging in for the first time.
