Projects undertaken for clients in this area illustrate that Equality Works recognises the unique characteristics of Trade Unions, seeks to understand their specific needs and deliver effective responses.
Equality Works was commissioned by UNISON, a large organisation with a complex structure and culture, to help develop UNISON’s first Equality Scheme. The Equality Scheme includes equality actions for all UNISON functions and is inspired by, but not limited to, the statutory duties on public bodies to promote equality.
A high profile Employment Tribunal was the catalyst for the Transport & General Workers Union to appoint us as its recruitment and selection consultant to devise a new more effective hiring process.
As well as the case studies below, read more about how one of our clients approaches this area:
The Transport and General Workers Union (T&G) appointed Equality Works as its recruitment and selection consultant to devise a new more effective hiring process.
The purpose of UNISON’s Equality Scheme is to make sure that equality is promoted in everything the union does. They believe equality should be at the heart of the union, written into their rules and into their objectives and priorities. However, they recognised that they did not systematically check the equalities impact of everything they did or evaluate how well they were achieving their vision of equality.
...to work with facilitators and consultants who believe in the work that you do, listen to your concerns and then deliver exactly what you need in just the right way. That is quite amazing!
