Credit where credit it is due

The management of the Veterans’ Badges and associated areas came to see us during the week.

They are expecting a reduction in staffing needs in their area. This is not due to some broad brush attack but due to natural business raisins. They will consult but that isn’t the point…

The point is that they wanted to check if we were happy for staff, on a purely voluntary basis, to be able to go into the redeployment pool whilst the standard talks take place. Why? So that the staff do not miss out on any opportunities. We have agreed this approach.

Commitment to consultation and caring for staff… credit, as the heading suggests, where credit is due.
