  • Thursday and Friday, 13 and 14 October

The workshops will be conducted in English by the same experienced trainer recommended by the UK-based Trades Union Congress (TUC).  

Workshop programme

Both workshops will examine different negotiating styles and strategies in the context of performance appraisal discussions with management, including Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) meetings with supervisors. Please see the attached course outline for full details.

For FICSA members with consultative or observer status (from organizations not listed in the footnote), a 30% discount will be granted on the total amount.

Accommodation and general information

Participants will receive, upon confirmation of their participation, the course outline and a general information document which will include recommendations on hotel accommodation.

Application form

Seats will be confirmed on a first-come first-served basis, irrespective of the duty station of assignment. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to register well in advance of the deadline.

It is important to note that filing an application to participate in this workshop does not imply an automatic acceptance. You are therefore kindly requested to wait for the official confirmation before making any travel arrangements.

All travel-related expenses, including DSA, must be funded by the individual staff association/union or administration. FICSA cannot provide any financial assistance in this respect.
