Negotiation Skills for Labor negotiations

default-16x9

We have a new Labor Manager and I am looking for a external training course on negotiation skills. Does anybody know a qualified trainer/training company (preferably based in the UK)? The classic (read: basic) negotiation skills class is not what I am looking for as it doesn't sufficiently prepare people for negotiations with unions and works councils. All answers, suggestions and ideas are welcome. Thanks, Peggy

    There is a good UK trainer called Mike Newman for this. I can help you get in touch with him if need be.

    Peggy – 3 Alternatives come to mind.   CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) and I might suggest  Isabelle Phillips as a point of reference. See www. cedr.co.uk
     
    Alternatively : Ewan Malcolmn at the Scottish Mediation Network, 18 York Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3EP  Telephone: 0131 556 1221   Ewan is one of the best communicators I know and I’m sure can tailor a model for the sort of thing you might be looking for.   Email : ewan@scottishmediation.org.uk  Web http://www.scottishmediation.org.uk
     
    And finally : Tom Hutcheson at  http://www.exfacie.com Tom is a trainer and university lecture travelling worldwide with international credentials and again probably has a suite of skills which could add something to your needs.

    Are we allowed to advertise? I think so. Check our website ( we ARE listed in Training Zone pages) http://www.buckinghamtutors.co.uk. We produce a programme for training negotiators, which any literate manager could present, in order to train personnel in this important skill. It is NOT just a basic “do this, then that” type of programme, but an in-depth detailed analysis of skills needed. It could also be used for self-study if necessary – though this is not the best use of the resource. You can download a sample file from our website.

    Have you thought about talking to the Secretary of your organisation’s union branch. It is in their interests for the Labour Manager to be trained in negotiating with unions and they can also provide direction on courses that explain how unions work and what their objectives are.

    To negogiate well you need to have the skills / tools for the job but (in my opinion) a well prepared negotiator researchs the party they are negotiating (this includes stakeholders such as customers and suppliers) to understand what motivates them and what consequently what they wish to achieve.

     Hello Peggy

    The Gap Partnership is based in Chesham, Bucks.  Their contact details are: 01442 291900 / http://www.thegappartnership.com.  They specialise in negotiation skills training, and the courses cover all aspects of negotiation right up to a strategic level.  I would recommend them very highly.

    Our lead trainer in this subject is unusual in that he not only TRAINS people in the subject but is a volunteer and tribunal advocate who ACTUALLY NEGOTIATES with employers on behalf of individuals. His course is therefore a good mixture of theory and reality,with a 12 month after care service thrown in!
