2012 calls for a flexible and pragmatic approach to collective bargaining.
Tough local and global economic conditions and a government pushing for employment policy change will further polarise the negotiating parties.
This key half-day technical seminar will give Senior Executives, Human Resources professionals, Employment Relations specialists, operational and line managers a highly practical overview of what to expect in their employment agreement negotiations in 2012.

Highly variable pay settlements will range from 1% to 5% - where do you pitch your offer?
-
What influence will the new employment relations changes have on your negotiations?
-
Will the ongoing economic hardship result in extreme behaviours - how do you handle this?

-
Why have some well-known employers been targeted for special attention by organised labour? Who are they?
-
How do you move away from the old adversarial negotiating model?
-
Will growing youth unemployment and social discontent in NZ result in unions broadening their activities?

New strategies and tactics for getting all your employees to focus on organisational growth and productivity.
