Staff council

Wiki home Page list Inbound links Page history

Discussions with all staff on employment issues may not be practical (too large a team, difficult to bring together etc.)

One solution may be a staff council.

Possible advantages	Possible disadvantages
Less disruption to programme as meetings do not require all team members More manageable meetings where decisions can be taken more easily	Representatives may not represent best interests of all team members Danger of constant negotiating and re-negotiating of terms and conditions if this is seen as sole role of council Emphasising international/national split if groups have very different interests

Way forward

Agree with all team members whether formation of a staff council is in everyone's best interest
Transparent elections for representatives with fixed terms before re-election
Clear roles and responsibilities of representatives
