Developing a strong and effective relationship with trade unions is still a top priority for employers in an increasingly turbulent socio-political and economic environment. The world of work is changing rapidly and those responsible for managing this relationship are required to be savvier than ever.

The importance of getting this right cannot be understated as the risks of not doing so loom large - industrial action, financial loss, costly tribunals, loss of talent, reputational damage and of course poor employee relations.

Now in its 12th year, this annual sell-out conference provides a practical blueprint to ensure you are working as effectively as possible with your union in whatever industry you may be in, and gives a unique chance to hear strategies and advice from leading companies who have faced and overcome these challenges. The day will provide extensive Q&A opportunities where you will be able to address specific questions that are relevant to your organisation.

Please note: The agenda for this year's annual event is still being researched. Please check back shortly for the full agenda and confirmed speakers. If you have a topic to suggest or might like to speak at, ensorse, or sponsor the event, please see how to get involved here.
