Values

For our approach to be successful EDS realises that clarity is required around:

• Peoples rights and responsibilities and contribution.

• The values that we are operating from in our engagement with trade unions and employees and how these values work in practice in relation to trades unions and employees.

• The relationship is one of collaboration which we see as being essential to be competitive.

Two pillars of the relationship

• The two pillars of this relationship are:

• The responsibility to manage

• The responsibility to represent.

Three Core Values

• Coupled with these is the understanding that all engaged in the organization have three core mutual values which are:

• The welfare of the employees

• The growth of the business

• The provision of excellent customer service
