A Final Conference within Workers Involvement – Straight to the Challenges - WIM 2 Project, led by Slovenian Employers Association (ZDS) and funded by European Union was organised today by MEF.
Anze Hirsl, ZDS representative said that a survey conducted within the Project involved companies from Montenegro, Macedonia and Slovenia that employ between 20 and 50 workers. As pointed out by Mr Hirsl, when asked to evaluate their knowledge about workers involvement in decision-making processes, managers said they had all the information on that process.
“The fact is that workers involvement into decision making processes can lead to greater transparencies and can ensure the legitimacy of decision making. If you disregard the interests of employees at any way it will surely not contribute to the quality of decisions”, said he.
Suzana Radulovic, MEF Secretary General, highlighted that the main objectives of the project were raising the awareness and understanding of current position of social partners, employers and other participants in the area of workers involvement in management process within companies.
The Conference was also attended by Alessandra Assensa, IOE representative, who said that workers council enables mutual understanding of all parties, their joint discussion about problems, since, sometimes workers do not know what are the problems companies face.
On the other hand, employers are not aware of employee’s needs. When making decisions agreed by both parties, the company is enabled to better adapt to challenges, said Assensa.
