Managing staff in the groups of companies

Corporate groups gather entities that are legally distinct but linked to each other's in a context of domination and cooperation forming a relatively identifiable entity. Their organization belongs to both corporate standards and contractual standards. Acquisition of a stake, stability pacts and commercial contracts enable the parent company to take control over and to coordinate the activities of dominated companies for the sake of the developing strategy that it determined. However, built upon the paradigm of the company, labour law frequently neglect the economic and legal relationship of dependence existing within the group. It only apprehends a bilateral working relationship between the company and its workers/employees; the corporate groups often have the will to ensure unity of the overall workforce by creating a common institutional set and the share of a strategic vision. This lead to an original political approach for workforce management, a means to enhance unity and tool to protect the group's interests also with the interest of those who contribute to the deployment of the activity... with the ultimate effect to project on the group the appearance of a company.
