Communication. Communication of new policies and procedures should be both proactive and effective, using a combination of methods such as noticeboards, internal memos, in-house magazines and company intranet. Consider appointing an expert to channel queries and maintain a consistent approach.

Consistency. Avoid inconsistency by use of standard application forms, pro-formas and model letters, discouraging such practices as informal notes or memos. Work out trigger dates in advance and use them as basis of a project plan to ensure that everything happens according to plan. Lastly, ensure consistency and equality of treatment between male and female employees.

Family Friendly = Employer Friendly? A matter of opinion. Many countries in European Community are now racing to catch up on discrimination laws that UK have been accustomed to since mid 70’s. In turn, we are now racing to catch up on family leave issues that have been a matter of course for many years with our European neighbours. Choice is not an option – but a forward thinking, proactive approach is. There’s no doubt that next few months or years, will be challenging. The gauntlet has been thrown down. I believe that we will rise to opportunity.
