When you are considering changes or where you are making changes to terms and conditions of employment or maybe other things in the workplace, it is important to ensure you meet any duties to inform and consult with your employees.
Sometimes there is a legal duty to do so but there are other times where it is simply good employee PR to do so. Where employees feel they have been informed, consulted and part of the process, they are much more likely to agree to change than where changes are dictated. This can apply to relatively small things as well as large things like changing location or working hours.
Our team can help guide you through any legal duties you may have if change is possible as well as giving you options and risk levels so you can decide how you want to proceed and consult with your employees.
This can be important in situations where you are taking on new employees and there is a duty to inform and consult those already within your business as well as those joining, or maybe in a situation where there is a reorganisation that impacts on department but then also has a smaller impact on other teams and areas of the business.
There are lots of situations where informing and consulting can result in time and costs savings to a business but also helping maintain the employer/employee relationship of trust and confidence, often resulting in avoiding grievances or group grievances.
I’ve been advised & assisted by the BRM team for over 20 years now. Exceptional Employer & Corporate departments. A competent & capable organisation with loyal staff you can rely on.
