LBG announces new colleague forums
From January 2025, LBG will introduce employee forums for staff in grades D to G in an effort to enhance engagement across the organisation, particularly among non-union employees.
Employees in grades A, B & C are not affected by these plans.
The introduction of employee forums does not impact Accord’s core services for individual members.
Members in all grades will continue to have access to the union’s support and guidance on the issues that matter to them.
Senior graded Accord members at Lloyds Banking Group have told us what they value most about the union:
- Accord is trusted for professional advice and tailored support, especially during periods of organisational change, business restructuring, and changes to working arrangements.
- Accord’s guidance in relation to health issues, performance management and conduct matters is highly valued.
- Access to personal representation during formal meetings and specialist legal advice—fully funded by the union—were noted as key benefits.
And remember, Accord has:
- Secured pay increases for 2025 at more than twice the current rate of CPI inflation.
- Protected redundancy compensation terms and commitments to minimise compulsory redundancies.
- Direct influence through access to senior business leaders, ensuring member voices are heard on Group strategy and policies.
- Exclusive benefits for members including legal and tax advice, the BUPA excess rebate scheme and grants for lifelong learning.
Accord believes that independent unions provide the best form of representation, regardless of grade. We’re committed to growing membership in LBG. Any LBG colleagues who are not yet Accord members can join us online here.
