Acas online grower training: Handling worker issues and complaints fairly, effectively and consistently.

Thanks to funding from six supermarket Sponsors*, and through the Seasonal Worker Scheme Taskforce, Acas will be delivering a series of contextualised online grower grievance prevention and management training workshops.

There is one free place for each grower organisation and Scheme Operator across the full series of events. Any additional places must be purchased and priced at £75.

Workshop attendees are requested to complete the following activities ahead of the training, which will be discussed during the workshop:

Use the SWS Taskforce - Principles of treating people well at work to self-assess your principles and management systems to deliver a positive, productive, and respectful working environment.

Use the SWS Taskforce - Good practice to limit formal and serious grievances to self-assess systems and processes that your site has in place that reduce the potential for worker complaints and grievances.

Use the SWS Taskforce - How effective is your site in managing worker complaints and grievances to self-assess how prepared your business is to properly and effectively manage worker complaints and grievances.

*Asda, Co-op, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.

This is an interactive training so we request that particpants use a device with both camera and microphone enabled.
