This guide outlines the UK’s Information and Consultation of Employees (ICE) regulations which give employees rights to request their employer makes arrangements to inform and consult them about issues in the organisation.
Based on case study interviews, the guide goes on to highlight effective methods for setting up and running employee forums. Employers can use this guide to take advantage of the benefits on offer from effective information and consultation arrangements, particularly in improving 'voice and representation', one of the seven dimensions of job quality.
