  • Employee Voice Hub

Employee Voice Hub

The Employee Voice Hub is a place where employee representatives from staff forums or works councils, can come together with Trade Union representatives, HR and employee engagement professionals to exchange ideas, share knowledge and experience.

The objective of the Hub is to support representatives to be a robust, informed and strategically minded employee voice in their own organisations, that contributes to the organisation’s success.
