consultation procedure
is the Law.

Law or not, it makes sense to engage with all staff

eConsult makes it easy to engage with all employees or groups. The same principles and processes apply as with any stakeholding group and it might be argued that staff are the biggest of all stakeholders! So you can have all the capability of eConsult at your disposal for employee consultation (Of course as you know, you are legally obliged to consult with employees or employee representatives on everyday issues such as health and safety and occupational pensions).

Here's the Government site that will give you more information.

• discuss problems
  
• consider developments
