Colleague Support Advisor Role

As the only officially recognised union for M&G plc staff, we appreciate the Company’s aspiration to support colleagues better in M&G plc.

In addition to the support the Colleague Support Advisor may offer, Unite Representatives are truly impartial and independent of the Company and have a vast array of industry/legal/political knowledge and expertise that can be called upon should a member need support at any stage.  All Representatives are trained and fully supported by Unite.

Anyone can be a member of Unite regardless of grade or location and as a member of Unite you are entitled to raise any concerns and issues with us in a confidential manner.

Unite’s representatives work with the business to help make it a great place to work.  On behalf of M&G ‘s staff we negotiate annual pay rises and other benefits along with discussing working conditions etc.

Our strong membership and constructive dialogue with M&G plc management means we make a positive input to resolving issues and creating a positive working environment across the Company.

In addition, there are many other positive reasons to join Unite, including the individual benefits we offer.  These include:

• Professional advice and guidance on work related matters through our network of trained workplace reps, with back up from specialist employment law solicitors if needed
• FREE will writing service to members and their spouses
• A huge range of member benefits and discounts on a wide range of goods and services
• Access to a wide range of courses through Learn with Unite
• FREE (non-work related)legal advice
• And much more….
