Whatever is necessary to ensure that the new arrangements allow employees to be properly informed and consulted. It is up to you and the negotiating representatives to decide what you will discuss, although in broad terms it should cover matters such as:
- are employees to be informed and consulted directly, through any I&C representatives they appoint or elect, or through some combination of the two?
- how are any I & C representatives to be chosen, how many of them will there be, and how are they to be replaced?
- on what subjects will information and consultation take place?
- what information is to be provided?
- how often are employees to be informed and consulted?
- how will you as employer be represented?
- how will you give your response to employees'views?
