Negotiation Strategies for HR and Unions
If you work with staff, unions, or employee representatives, you know how quickly negotiations can become challenging. Our Staff Union Negotiations course is designed to help you enter the room prepared, confident, and able to guide discussions toward productive outcomes, even when tensions rise.
This training is practical and grounded in real workplace situations. You’ll learn how to build a strong negotiation strategy, understand union expectations, avoid common negotiation pitfalls, and keep conversations moving forward. The course also covers the legal framework, how to manage conflict, how to break deadlocks, and how to turn negotiation challenges into opportunities for stronger labour relationships.
The course is ideal for HR managers, industrial relations teams, union leaders, line managers, executives, and anyone who needs to negotiate workplace issues fairly and effectively. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of collective bargaining and the negotiation process, along with practical tools that help you prepare properly, set a strong mandate, manage difficult behaviour, and resolve conflict professionally. The goal is not only to help you negotiate better but to help reduce labour disputes and create healthier, more collaborative relationships in the workplace.
Good negotiation skills do more than resolve issues; they prevent them. When both sides communicate clearly, follow a structured process, and negotiate in good faith, the organisation becomes more stable and productive.
If you want practical, effective skills in staff union negotiations, collective bargaining, and labour relations, this course will give you exactly that.
