Having an effective Works Council / Employee Forum can be a real advantage in today’s progressive employee relations climate. There are now also matters of potential compliance to consider with the advent of the Information & Consultation Regulations 2004 the last phase of which will be introduced in April 2008. If your employee representatives are in need of the skills to promote meaningful discussions with management, a one-day workshop can be ‘tailored’ to help achieve both the management’s and employees’ needs. As a result of the workshop, management and employee representatives should feel part of the same team.
