Making Collective Consultations Effective: Training Employee Representatives

For redundancy processes that must follow ‘collective consultation’ rules employee representatives play a key role in delivering an effective process.

All too often employee representatives are inexperienced and in the dark about what is required of them. They do not know how best to undertake this role, particularly alongside their day job. This can lead to a breakdown in the process, increased reputational risk for the business and wasted management time.

In this training session, we look at:

• The role of employee representatives.
• What the law requires them to do.
• Practical guidance on how the consultation process should be run from the representative’s perspective.

Delivered by experienced employment lawyers, we provide expert guidance and best practice advice to help you better understand the legal and practical issues you will face, and how to achieve the right outcomes for your business.

What are the benefits of this training session?

Employee representatives will:

• Gain an understanding of relevant legal requirements.
• Appreciate what their role involves.  
• Develop confidence and improve the communication process.
• Learn how to work with management representatives to facilitate the consultation process.
