Dutch term or phrase: medenzeggeschapsprocessen
This word comes from a book aimed at helping students with studying. The full sentence is "Het heeft bewezen een praktisch hulpmiddel te zijn om medewerkers
te leren initiatieven te nemen in medenzeggeschaps- en empowermentprocessen." Does it mean something like collaborative creative processes? Thank you in advance.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you - I see now that the problem lies in a typo in the source text, which says medenzeggeschap - no wonder I couldn't find it!
