Description
The EC Information and Consultation Directive came into force in the UK in March 2005. Information and Consultation: From Compliance to Performance offers a series of case studies that look at preparatory thinking and arrangements that some organisations are making to meet the terms of this directive. This report will help HR and employee relations practitioners to help their organisation not only to comply with the legislation but get business value from it. The case studies illustrate the enormous range and diversity of background and experience that will influence a companies' approach to the new legislation.Contents
