Edinburgh Relocation
We are now at the end of the consultation period and we have discussed the key themes at length including salaries, flexible working, travel time and cost to which we have had some assurances – we will continue to discuss the car parking policy.
Thank you to everyone that contacted us and we understand that this is a significant change to your working life, if you would like guidance or support during your individual conversations regarding the move then please contact Unite@prudential.co.uk. Please be aware that this is only available for Unite members however we are more than happy to accommodate new members, we can and do represent individuals of all grades, in all locations.

We now have a Unite Members group on Yammer, if you would like to join then please send a request – Yammer: Unite Members
Reading Buses Discount
We are still waiting for the IT system at Reading Buses to be implemented to enable Reading based staff to obtain discounts on travel. We will update you as soon as we know the date.
Consultations
So far this year, we have been involved with 6 collective consultations including TUPE, proposed redundancies, relocation and policy changes. We ensured that the current redundancy cap (uncapped for PGDS) will remain in place until 31 December 2022, no part time colleague was financially disadvantaged by the change to the Bank Holiday calculation, we requested that Partner’s Life Cover remain within Pru Select and finally, following feedback from Unite, the Company changed their default position on Company Sick Pay where an individual has a live Formal Warning.
Individuals
Since the beginning of 2019 we have helped in excess of 50 individuals of all grades and in all locations to get a fair outcome. These range from informal chats to more formal grievances, disciplinaries and capability meetings.
It is important to remember that with the new suite of policies there is a large degree of discretion but if you feel that you have not got a fair outcome then please get in touch:
