If your business is changing structure, ownership or facing the possibility of redundancies, you may need to elect employee representatives. Our training sessions help these individuals understand and prepare for their role of representing affected employees as part of the collective consultation process.
If you don’t recognise a trade union or don’t have employee representatives already in place, you’ll have to hold an election to appoint suitable representatives. Newly appointed representatives may not understand their legal duties and responsibilities and this training will prepare them for their new role.
Our lawyers will train and guide your employee representatives to make sure they are confident and can add value to the consultation process.
What Does The Training Involve?
The training is especially useful if:
- Your business is involved in a TUPE situation
- You’re making 20 or more employees redundant
- You’re changing the terms and conditions of employment of 20 or more employees.
In these situations you’ll need to collectively consult with employee representatives.
Our training provides employee representatives with the skills they need to carry out their role and helps them to understand why their role is important and what’s required of them.
We also offer bespoke training sessions tailored to your business.
