Find out how to break the deadlock in collective bargaining and build lasting agreements.
The compromise: Key to successful negotiation ✨
No lasting agreement is possible without mutual concessions. All parties must be prepared to make efforts.

Common error: Unilateral forces 🚫
HR people sometimes think they're the only ones who have to give in.
This is a mistake that leads to deadlock. A successful negotiation is a balanced exchange, where each party both contributes and receives.
Avoid thinking that all concessions must come from your side. The aim is to build mutually beneficial common ground.
The key question: What are the benefits?
Ask for

Refusal → New proposal
A refusal, far from being the end of the matter, is the impetus for an innovative approach.

It's a springboard to a more attractive and beneficial solution for everyone.
Turn challenges into success!
Silent unions? Suspend the meeting

If no quid pro quo is possible, suspend the plenary.
It is better to delay than to accept an unbalanced agreement.
