The health
services environment differs from other industries, as it deals with the
wellbeing and lives of people. It is therefore imperative to understand:
• The
importance of ethical codes
• The
correct way of dealing with labour-related issues.
This
work provides a practical and up-to-date guide for health services managers who
deal with personnel and who wish to create a working environment that
facilitates bilateral cooperation and avoid industrial action as far as
possible. It sets out current legislation that affects both employers and
employees, and informs them of their rights and obligations in very clear
terms, supplemented by ample practical examples and specimen documentation.
