Business moves fast. Consultation must keep up.
The AI governance platform for collective labour relations, consultation management and workforce change.
Workforce change is becoming harder to govern.
Replace spreadsheets, email trails and shared drives with structured workflows, live labour relations data and evidence-ready records.
Works councils, consultation obligations, AI-driven transformation and cross-border complexity are increasing simultaneously, yet most Employee Relations teams are expected to manage it all with the same resources.
Graylark provides the visibility, governance and auditability needed to manage workforce change at multinational scale.
Built for the storm now hitting European multinationals.
The revised EWC Directive 2025/2450, intensifying national regimes, and a wave of AI rollouts in which every meaningful tool triggers works council engagement. The labour and employee relations team that handled three change proposals a quarter is about to be expected to handle thirty.
- 26 November 2025
The revised European Works Council Directive, (EU) 2025/2450, is adopted. In force from 31 December 2025.
- Now
AI tools are already arriving at work, and in many countries their introduction engages existing consultation and co-determination rights today. A special negotiating body routinely takes 18 to 36 months to reach a new EWC agreement, so the clock on 2028 is already running.

- 2 December 2027
The EU AI Act’s requirements for high-risk systems apply to employment and worker-management systems, including the duty to inform workers and their representatives before such a system is put to use. Deferred from 2 August 2026 by the Digital Omnibus adopted in July 2026.
- 1 and 2 January 2028
Member states must have transposed the EWC Recast. The next day, pre-1996 Article 14 agreements lose their exemption.
- 2 January 2029
The remaining provisions of the EWC Recast apply.

From coordination to governance.
When consultation status, obligations and documentation are visible in one place, governance becomes proactive rather than reactive.

What is the Graylark Employee Relations Platform?
Graylark is a governance platform for collective labour relations, consultation management and workforce change. Built for multinational organisations, it gives HR, Employee Relations and legal teams one place to manage works council consultation, collective bargaining and organisational change, with the visibility, governance and auditability required across multiple jurisdictions.
In large organisations, this work typically includes:
- Works council consultations and co-determination processes.
- Collective bargaining negotiations and agreement management.
- Consultation on restructures, reorganisations, and policy changes.
- Technology rollouts (including AI) that require employee representative engagement.
- Cross-border documentation, approvals, and reporting.
With Graylark, teams can:
- Track consultation activities, milestones and deadlines across jurisdictions.
- Coordinate ownership and stakeholder engagement across countries and functions.
- Manage consultation records, decisions, documents and outcomes in one place.
- Support local legal requirements while maintaining a consistent global process.
- Generate audit-ready records and reduce risk during high-impact workforce change.
Most organisations still run these processes through email chains, spreadsheets and shared drives, approaches that were never designed for today's volume of consultation, workforce transformation and governance requirements. Graylark centralises this into a single governed, auditable platform, providing the visibility, coordination and evidence multinational organisations need.
The result is greater visibility, stronger governance and a single source of truth across collective labour relations, consultation management and workforce change.
Greater visibility. Stronger governance.

Consultation should be governed from the start. Not reconstructed after the fact.
Why organisations choose Graylark
Visibility
Create defensible consultation records and evidence throughout workforce change programmes.
Governance
Move from fragmented coordination to structured governance with clear ownership and accountability.
Auditability
Create defensible records and evidence throughout consultation processes without relying on spreadsheets, email chains or shared drives.
AI Governance
Identify consultation triggers, assess workforce change impacts and support decision-making before programmes begin.
Scalability
Manage increasing consultation activity, AI-related change and workforce transformation without increasing administrative burden.
AI Security
Purpose-built AI that runs inside Graylark's EEA environment. No data leaves it, and no information is used for training.
Built for scrutiny.
Graylark holds some of the most sensitive material an employer has: consultation documents, works council correspondence, restructuring plans and collective agreements, often long before any of it is public. This is how it is protected.
Certified and tested
Cyber Essentials certified at Whole Organisation scope. An independent penetration test of the platform in 2026. An information security management system aligned to ISO 27001, with external audit targeted for the second half of 2027.
Data inside the EEA
Customer data is stored and processed within the European Economic Area and not transferred outside it. Each customer has a dedicated database, not a shared table with a filter column.
AI that stays inside
Inference runs on Graylark-managed infrastructure inside the EEA. There are no calls to external AI APIs in the customer-data path, and no training on customer data.
Switched off at will
A master off-switch disables every AI surface for a tenant, with per-feature controls beneath it. Every AI call is recorded in an audit log administrators can browse.
Identity and access
Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication that can be made mandatory, and permissions scoped by country or business unit on a default-deny model.
Ready for procurement
The security pack, the Data Processing Agreement, the penetration test report and the policy set are standing documents, sent the same day your security team asks.

- Weekly
releases
A release every week, so the platform moves at the pace of the obligations it tracks.
Integrations are optional, and off until your own administrators switch them on: people and organisation data from Workday, Oracle HCM or SAP SuccessFactors; notifications to Slack or Microsoft Teams; single sign-on through Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google or any OIDC provider, with SCIM provisioning. Nothing connects to your systems until you connect it.
The research behind it.
Graylark Labs is our applied AI research arm. It turns difficult operational questions into production systems, and every research track maps to something in the platform.
Model Forge: our own models
Domain-specific models for labour relations, trained on Graylark’s own hardware. A larger teacher model, tuned by an automated experiment loop, distils into the model the platform serves. The training data is synthetic and encoded from legal frameworks, so when a framework changes the data is regenerated and the model retrained. Customer data is never used.
InsightMesh: answers that show their working
An insight graph, scoped by country, that links every entity in your landscape to the insights drawn from it. Source lineage is preserved and outputs are versioned, so a recommendation can always show where it came from and how it has moved over time.
A production MCP server
AI agents can work with Graylark data only inside the same tenant boundaries and permissions as a person, through scoped, revocable tokens tied to an accountable identity, with every tool call recorded.
Safety, proven on every build
A benchmark aligned to the OWASP LLM Top 10 runs on every build, and the evidence behind our security questionnaires is produced by the same engine, build after build.
