Information and Consultation Directive08 December 2006 14:43
Workbase Scotland has won funding from the European Commission to develop an exciting new transnational project which will demonstrate Scotland’s commitment to the implementation of the new EU Information and Consultation Directive. This piece of legislation can be used as a positive business tool, there is a proven link between effective communication and consulting systems and improving efficiency and performance. We wish to encourage corporate social responsibility which we believe relies on effective consultation and information sharing between employees, trade unions and employers and this project affords us an opportunity to support this work.
The project will allow Scotland to be represented as an exemplar of good practice in building social capital within companies, increasing efficiencies and heightening our profile across Europe. This partnership project will be delivered in conjunction with the GMB Union and MSZOSZ the largest trade union confederation in Hungary. The project is actively supported by the Scotch Whisky Association, Scottish Water, the European Federation of Public Service Unions and the European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions.
