We can also provide ad-hoc support for specific major change programmes where additional experience in union engagement would be beneficial.
ER and engagement development programme
To assist organisations with effective succession planning in ER and IR, we have designed an innovative development programme for HR and ER professionals. At the end of 2023, 47 delegates from nine organisations (global and UK) have entrusted us to support and equip the next generation of employee and industrial relations specialists.
​
A highly interactive combination of face-to-face sessions and online modules, action learning sets, external speakers plus a dedicated mentor from our senior ER network, make this a unique learning experience. Modules cover ER strategic choice, developing behaviours and capability, effective collective voice, negotiation and problem solving, managing disputes and rebuilding relationships after conflict.
To find out more about our first class development programme, or to register to join the next cohort (April 2024), please get in touch.
"Our team has really enjoyed the sessions and benefitted from being part of it all. They are way more externally savvy now."
