Making Skills Work

Optimising the use of skills in the workplace
– a workshop for unions and employers


The aim of this joint unionlearn/ACAS workshop is to promote best practice in how unions and employers can agree strategies to optimise the use of skills within the workplace with the aim of achieving improvements to working practices, job satisfaction, organisational performance and productivity.

The workshop will be facilitated by the Involvement and Participation Association (IPA). Unionlearn has commissioned IPA to produce a case studies report and a guide for union representatives about how they can achieve better use of skills in the workplace through negotiations with employers. Both publications will be available to delegates on the day.
