New Brief_CIPD_5HR01_24_01
The public sector organisation you work for has recently merged with another similar organisation, leading to significant staff changes across key departments. The incoming leadership, management, and people practise teams are relatively new to their roles and have limited experience in managing employee relations within the public sector, as many of them come from the private sector. There are concerns that this could affect the commitment to existing employee relations practices. Given this situation, your people practice director has asked you to write a briefing paper.
Your task is to provide the teams with the necessary knowledge and understanding about:
- The various forms of employee representation that can be employed in the workplace and how these can be used to support workplace harmony.
- The different forms of conflict and dispute resolution, including how to manage performance, disciplinary, and grievance matters lawfully.
To complete the briefing paper, you should address each of the 10 points listed below. Make appropriate use of academic literature, case and statutory law, codes of practice, research, and practical examples to substantiate your responses and illustrate key points. Please ensure that all sources are reputable as indicated on the unit reading list, and that all cited sources are correctly acknowledged and presented in full in a bibliography at the end of your briefing paper.
