Learning Agreements

When unions are directly involved in training policy decision at company level, firms are more likely to adopt practices which contribute to high-trust, high-performance workplaces, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s 2001 Training and Development Survey. Learning Agreements can help facilitate the level of union involvement in training policy with a company. Some of the problems that ULRs experience in the workplace can also be overcome by a learning agreement. A formal agreement between a union and an employer on time off can avoid misunderstanding and ensure fair and reasonable treatment.
