Principles and Objectives. 1.* The contracting parties,
Principles and Objectives. MPI acknowledges the significant effect that change can have upon its employees and, in that light will: • Work to preserve the employment security and career opportunities of its employees. A key consideration during change is to ensure employees have jobs, using redundancy as a last resort. Further, MPI acknowledges the benefit of key skills and experience being retained. • Make the greatest possible use of attrition. Attrition will be specifically considered as a way of minimising and managing the number of employees affected by a change. • Maximise employment opportunities for affected staff while ensuring that operational needs are met. • Develop its employees to assist them to cope with change and contribute to a changing MPI, and to enhance their opportunities for alternative employment. • Adopt a proactive and forward looking approach to change. This includes working with the PSA around forward planning (including organisational and business strategic planning which may lead to change) and preparing employees for potential future change. • Treat staff affected by change fairly, and work to ensure that they feel fairly treated. • Treat employees as individuals and consult with them about options on a case by case basis. • Work to ensure that change is understood by all, and managers and employees are jointly involved in managing it.

Principles and Objectives. 14.1.1 This Article recognizes and reflects the same principles as are set forth in section
Principles and Objectives. 2.1.1 The Agreement is based on and reflects the principles and objectives set out in the Preamble.
Principles and Objectives. The Trade Unions recognise that it is the Trust’s responsibility to plan, organise and manage the activities of the Trust, allowing its family of schools to maximise the quality of teaching and learning and develop successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. The Trust recognises the Trade Unions’ right to represent and protect the interests of their members employed in the Trust both individually and collectively and believes that representative trade unions help ensure good employee relations. To this end, the Trust provides their employees with up to date information on local Union contacts during their induction. The Trust encourages staff to seek the advice of their trade union whenever they need specialist advice in relation to their employment. This agreement is intended to promote and assist with: • Good practice in employment matters including, for example, health and safety, well-being and equalities • Effective communication • Compliance with statutory requirements for consultation • Participation and involvement of staff • Joint agreement where the Trust seeks to negotiate specific terms and conditions of employment, including through collective agreements • Arrangements for discussion of professional issues concerning teaching and learning (eg, curriculum and behaviour policy), as far as they relate to working/employment conditions • Effective and prompt resolution of issues and disputes. In some circumstances, ‘local’ discussions (within the individual schools comprising the Trust) may be more appropriate, or appropriate in addition to those within the Joint Consultation and Negotiation Committee (JCNC), for example, where local provisions arising from TUPE can be more effectively managed at a local level. The Trust and the Trade Unions declare their commitment to maintaining good industrial relations and agree to make every effort to resolve any difficulties which may arise and to ensure that this agreement is effective. Discussion will be with a view to reaching agreement wherever this is possible.
Principles and Objectives. 1. The Parties undertake to:
