COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES

This is about keeping in touch with your employees and your employee representatives. We can work with you to inform your people about what is going on within your business using simple and effective communication via a range of different media. We can help you to deliver good and bad news. We recognise that not all people want to receive information in the same way or at the same frequency.

We can help you to persuade people of the need for change. You may have formal employee relations committees or forums involving trade unions or other appointed employee representatives and these will need to be supported on a regular basis. You may need to implement an employee relations strategy and Blue Star Human Resources can help put such a strategy in place.

Together we can:

• recognise the different communication needs of your people.
• train your managers in effective communication techniques.
• provide regular staff briefings on a face to face basis.
• provide frequent and easy to read information on business performance.
• communicate effectively during a period of business change.
• deliver difficult messages in an empathetic manner.
• fulfil your legal obligations to inform and consult with your workforce.
• ensure you have in place an appropriate employee relations strategy for your business
• deal effectively with any employee relations issues pertaining to change within your business.
• maintain good relationships with Trade Union representatives and elected employee representatives.
• be pro active in avoiding any dispute with your employees.
• be fully supported if any dispute does arise between employer and employee either on a collective or on an individual basis.
• administer any formal gatherings with Trade Union or employee representatives in an effective and timely manner - issue agendas for meetings and keep minutes of meetings.
