Staff & Union Negotiations

COURSE OVERVIEW

Employers and their employees very often have different and diverse needs, interests and goals, which, if not met, can lead to conflict situations. The resulting confrontation results at best in poor work relations and at worst, in strike action. To avoid such conflict and confrontation, it is vital that staff are equipped with the ability to conduct negotiations in such a manner that win/win outcomes are achieved and all parties are satisfied with the various agreements reached and will continue to carry out their functions efficiently.
