CONSULTATION OF EMPLOYEES
This workshop is experiential and practical, and highly interactive. It runs over a full day. While it is aimed at staff representatives, anybody in HR, line managers and senior managers are welcome to attend, in order to ensure understanding of the process.
There is an obligation to consult when the organisation is going through redundancy or TUPE; or making changes to terms and conditions, diversity or health and safety.
Training helps employee representatives and managers to focus on the practical aspects of consultation, and provides boundaries, a set of rules and clear roles, to help navigate the often difficult terrain that change brings with it.
