Organising and Negotiating Skills

The course is aimed at UNISON representatives who are involved in negotiations or who are likely to become involved in negotiations with management on a variety of topics including

• pay
• reorganisation
• redundancy situations

UNISON activist education aims to help you develop confidence and practical skills and put the knowledge you gain during the course to good effect in your branch and workplace.

The course is organised in an active way that gives us all the opportunity to have a say as well as listen to others. In addition, a large part of the course is based on practice negotiating sessions giving you practical experience of negotiating situations. The scenarios and negotiating situations used in the course are designed to be as close to reality as possible and will enable the group to work together to develop strategies for successful negotiations.

The course aims to help participants to

• Develop and practice negotiating skills
• Be more effective team negotiators
• Understand the process of negotiating
• Be familiar with different styles of negotiating
• Understand how to prepare, present and negotiate on a claim
• Develop good practice in negotiations
