Industrial Relations

We provide support and guidance with all forms of trade union relationships and collective representation forums for non-union employees, which can also be called “labour relations”.

At Horizon we are very experienced in supporting businesses with Trade Union recognition and derecognition claims and tactics, the CAC process, negotiating collective agreements, threats of industrial action, strike mitigation strategies, pay negotiations and collective bargaining, ACAS conciliation and mediation and all collective forms of staff recognition, consultation and negotiation.

We advocate that it is crucial, even in a unionised environment, that you listen to the collective voice of all of your employees, including those employees who are not members of a union. It is therefore very important that in all environments, you put in place a staff forum, works council or employee focus group and meet with them regularly and give them real “teeth”. Acting on every suggestion and always providing feedback is a vital step for boosting employee engagement and resolving collective issues within the workplace before they escalate out of control. A well functioning employee forum will build trust in your management team, support any consultation and negotiation processes and help drive your business goals by developing a high performance culture.
