Training Course
Working effectively with Trade Unions
This highly practical (one-day half-day) course will benefit HR Specialists and managers who have not previously worked in a unionised environment, who have limited experience of working with trade unions or who would like a refresher course on the collective dimension of employment.

It will consider how to develop and maintain mutually constructive and respectful working relationships with union members and their representatives.
