Setting up a Staff Council

The Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 apply to undertakings employing 50 or more employees. Employers may face a statutory request from employees for information and consultation arrangements. Alternatively, it may be to an employer’s advantage to establish a staff council voluntarily.

The 2004 Regulations are a minefield of ambiguities. However they also provide an opportunity to improve dialogue between employers and employees.

The benefits of pre-existing agreements
Dealing with employee requests for a negotiated agreement
The role of the central arbitration committee
Protection for employee representatives
Setting up information and consultation committees
Drawing up proposals
Winning support
The operation of information and consultation committees
Making the arrangement a success

This course will interpret the complexities of the regulations and enable employers to understand their obligations and how to use the regulations to their own advantage.

In order to be meaningful, employee information and consultation needs to be positively promoted by senior management. Directors, senior managers and HR professionals will all benefit from this course.
