CRF Learning: Creating a ‘Win-Win’ Employee Relations Strategy
A recent survey showed that over 53% of employers believe we are entering a more unstable period of employee relations. Employers across the UK are facing an array of challenges with issues including high inflation driving pay disputes and industrial unrest, a challenging labour market, changes to post-Covid working arrangements and the impact of AI on workforce planning, all dominating the Employee Relations (ER) agenda.
These issues are creating tensions within the workplace and an increasing demand on HR professionals operating in the ER space. CRF’s employee relations strategy programme is an essential course designed ensure you have the skills necessary to navigate this complex arena.

The sessions will build key knowledge and skills including:
- Best practice in engaging your employees to understand, respond to and resolve contentious workplace issues;

- Understanding key legislative changes and case law impacting collective labour relations;
- Assessing and mitigating against the legal, political and industrial risks of decisions impacting your workforce;
- Aligning key internal stakeholders to ensure a joined-up approach to ER;
- Creating and implementing a ‘win-win’ strategy where employees feel valued and your organisation is able to deliver its strategic aims.
