The Code for Participating HEIs Now, let’s talk about the code. The code, it’s beautiful. Three key elements, and they’re the best, believe me.

Stage 2: Then, face-to-face consultations. That’s right, face-to-face! We talk, we refine, we identify regional issues. It’s a beautiful thing. Stage 3: Final confirmation. We ask, are you in or are you out? If you’re in, you shape the negotiating mandate. It’s like making the best deal, the art of the deal! Communications The communications, folks, they’re top-notch. We set up the best arrangements, internal and external. Everyone’s on the same page, all united. Tremendous unity! Management of Industrial Disputes Industrial disputes? We handle them like a boss.

Very fair. Involving Stakeholders We involve everyone, folks. The timetable, the procedures, all agreed for New JNCHES. Planning, decision making, it’s all there. We want support from the governing body, senior management, middle management. Everyone’s on board. Trade unions, we ask the tough questions, the best questions. We build partnerships.
