Workplace mechanisms to improve workplace collaboration Sample Clauses

Workplace mechanisms to improve workplace collaboration. Social Partners agree that sound workplace relationships between workers and management contribute to the productivity and sustainability of companies. Social partners recognise that individual companies have introduced a range of mechanisms to facilitate engagement between workers and management. However, this practice is not sufficiently widespread and practical tools and capabilities to enable this are lacking. Social Partners note the agreements in respect of workplace collaboration and engagement in the Labour Relations Accord and Code of good Practice on collective bargaining and industrial action as part of the agreement reached on labour relations stability for which the ILO has committed capacity resources. Social partners therefore agreed to explore opportunities for resources and processes to support building more inclusive and cooperative workplace engagements between workers and management to solve workplace problems, including at a minimum: collaborative worker-centred and productivity driven workplace relations and production processes. Additional Opportunities that could be explored include: • Providing better resourcing and training for Productivity SA, • The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has committed to make technical expertise, capacity and resources available for such interventions • The European Union (EU) has committed that its members shall provide capacity building expertise and resources that can be accessed by Social Partners. • The Productivity and Training Institute (PTI) of the National Bargaining Council for the Clothing Manufacturing Industry (NBCCMI) offers to make itself available to share its learning and lessons with other bargaining councils, in the event that they wish to replicate such services. The PTI is a worker-centric productivity advisory service operated by the industry regulator and established by Employer and Employee bodies to the bargaining council as a value-added service to the Clothing Manufacturing Sector. Social Partners recognise that the establishment and expansion of such sectoral worker-centric productivity services would require funding.
