There will be regular consultations with the unions at different levels during and after the integration in order to maintain an open, trusting dialogue about the departments' activities that will enhance internal anchoring, influence and participation. 

• At a local level, there will be regular union engagement in the project, in which employees of each department participate, and in the regular work between employees and their line managers.
• There will also be interaction within the project at both BioNut and MedH during monthly meetings at which workplace representatives meet their respective management.
• At a central level, engagement on the project is a permanent feature of interagency cooperation, where central union representatives meet the university management on a fortnightly basis.

The project manager participates in both the departmental cooperation meetings and the interagency cooperation.

It is the responsibility of the union organisations to communicate with their members. 

The integration will be preceded by a risk and impact analysis with among others KI South’s chief safety representative and involving local safety and workplace representatives from both departments. Read more about the systematic work environment management at KI.
