Working Successfully With Trade Unions

 

Changes to trade union rights will affect employers differently depending on whether they already recognise a union. However, all organisations need to understand the changing legal framework, prepare managers and HR teams, and consider how they will respond to workplace access requests and increased union activity.

Our Working Successfully With Trade Unions training provides practical guidance for both unionised and non-unionised employers. Choose the course that reflects your organisation’s current position to help you prepare for the changes, strengthen employee relations and respond confidently and consistently.
