Employee & Industrial Relations

It doesn't matter what size or shape your organisation is. Putting together an employee relations strategy or getting your existing one to work can be full of unexpected challenges and potential pitfalls. And dealing with trade unions can be daunting for even the most seasoned HR professional or line manager, requiring very specific skills, experience and confidence

We will work with you to design the right strategy, to bring your existing strategy to life, to develop internal skills and competence, to provide expert guidance to major change projects such as terms and conditions, policies and procedures and working practices, or help you with tricky negotiations.

We also work extensively on setting up employee reps forums and working with both representatives (unions and/or non-union) and managers to develop working relationships. Employee consultation processes take many forms and we know that what works for one client will not necessarily work for another. UK and EU legislation also imposes certain demands and expectations.
