As a President of College or University You are meeting with the Human Resources Practitioner in order to discuss the possibility of having the HRP more involved in day to day labour relations issues. You do not understand why there is a need to have this increased role from an HR Practitioner as you have been able to manage labour relations issues successfully for a long time.At the same time, you do find yourself having to deal with issues that you don't necessarily have time for and are looking to ensure that labour relations matters get dealt with effectively.

1. Find out from the HRP what they can do to make relations between the College/University easier.

a. What will they bring to the role that will enhance relations between the union and the  college/university?
b. what concerns do you have if the HRP is unable to manage the relationship with each union effectively?
c. what benefit will the HRP's role bring to you and your leadership of the college/university?
