Please Note: due to changes with the Guildford office this course will now be delivered at the Brighton Regional Office.

This three day course is aimed at UNISON representatives who are involved in negotiations or who are likely to become involved in negotiations with management on policies, pay, and conditions of service. It will help participants to:

  • Understanding the process of negotiating
  • Becoming familiar with different styles of negotiating
  • Working effectively as part of a negotiating team
  • Understanding how to prepare, present and negotiate on an issue
  • Developing and practising negotiating skills

The course is organised in an active way that gives us all an opportunity to have a say as well as listen to others. In addition, a large part of the course is based on practice negotiating sessions giving you practical experience of negotiating situations. The scenarios used in the course are designed to be as close to reality as possible and will enable you as a group to work together to develop strategies for successful negotiations.
