On the 12th of February 2007 Workbase Scotland travelled to Budapest for the launch of their transnational partnership project which aims to promote the positive benefits, for employees’ trade unions and businesses, of implementing the new EU Information and Consultation Directive.
Working with the GMB, and federation of Trade Unions in Hungary, the launch focussed on good practice. Representatives for both Scottish Water and Diageo Scotland outlined their experiences of working in partnership with their employees, and acted as positive case studies on informing and consulting with employees. Over 60 Trade Unions, Academics, Government bodies and Private Sector companies attended the launch conference and took part in the learning exchange.
Harry Donaldson, Regional Secretary of the GMB, said “this project is an exciting opportunity for the trade unions to work in partnership with employers to improve communications which ultimately can lead to improvements in competitiveness across the sectors”.
The project will support employees, trade unions and employers to improve their systems of communicating and consulting across the business with the aim of developing improved working environments, the effective engagement of people and will lead to high performance workplaces.
