This is when a worker-director position is created, a low-level employee such as a factory worker or a sales assistant is given a seat on the Board of Directors.
What is work councils?
Work-councils are a group made up of an equal number of employees and managers. The group discusses major suggestions for change in the organisation and has joint decision-making powers. This reduces resistance to change from employees.
What is consultative committees?
Consultative committees are similar and can also include members of the public, customers, etc. to discusses important issues and changes.
What are quality circles?
Quality circles involves employees being consulted on how to improve the standard of the products they produces. This makes employees feel involved in decision-making and that they can make a difference.
