According to the Medbestämmandelagen (Co-determination Act), employers must inform and negotiate with trade union organizations regarding important changes, including major innovation projects. The CoS should involve trade union representatives early in the planning and implementation of innovation work, especially if it affects work tasks, organization, or the working environment. This involves creating forums for dialogue, informing about the purpose and goals, and listening to feedback and suggestions. By ensuring union involvement, the risk of resistance and conflict is reduced, while innovation work gains broader legitimacy and better prospects for success. The CoS should document negotiations and ensure that all parties agree on the scope and implementation of the changes.
