What does this work involve?
Good employment practice promotes a joint working approach to resolving employment relations problems. We use different approaches such as focus groups, information and consultation forums and problem solving teams.
The services that can be provided include the following:
- Facilitating the formation of Information and Consultation agreements and forums.
- Facilitating employment relations audits and employee attitude surveys.
- Providing advice/information on matters such as employment investigations, workplace stress, bullying in the workplace, disciplinary and grievance matters, migrant workers, and negotiation.
- Assisting in the facilitation of change management where a joint working approach already exists e.g. the introduction of new shift patterns, significant policy amendments or changes in holiday rotas.
- Help with drafting and agreeing new policies in organisations where employees/employee representatives have an input or offering advice on model policy/procedure contents which have been successfully implemented by other organisations
The good employment practice service is:
- free of charge
- confidential
- impartial
- independent
- carried out by officers with appropriate employment relations expertise and
- is offered only if all parties involved or affected agree to work together.
