Industrial Relations
We are committed to a partnership approach with all our employees and the trade unions that represent them. This co-operation brings real benefits to the business.
Management and trade unions meet on a regular basis through a structured meeting schedule. Twice a year the CEO briefs senior union representatives from across the business on the current business position and challenges ahead. Trade unions are consulted on a wide range of issues including business strategy, pensions and employment policy. This dialogue is complemented by joint management – trade union working groups focusing on particular issues such as learning and equality.
