Consultation
with employees ensures that management knows exactly how their
employees feel and what they want. It takes assumptions out of the
planning process and lets employees know that they are heard in their
organisation. Employees are more likely to be supportive of the
implementation of policies and procedures if they have been consulted
on them.
In
addition, consultation with employees is a requirement of the Act as
it helps to identify equal opportunity issues for women. Whether it is
through one-on-one discussions, part of the performance appraisal
process, a formal focus group or an employee survey, consultation
enables employees to participate in decisions and share in the
responsibility for actions taken.
EOWA’s
consultation tools are designed to gain information from your staff
about what’s working and what’s not working in your organisation
in relation to removing discrimination and advancing women.
We
offer a series of three Employee
Opinion Surveys, developed by Dr Graeme Russell
(Director Work + Life Strategies), which are based on the seven
Employment Matters and tiered to the needs of different business –
those starting out, moving forward or leading the way.
In
addition, an Online
Survey Tool has been developed which allows you to
automatically select your survey group, generate your survey form and
graph the results from staff ready for inclusion in your report to
EOWA. This tool is offered as a software program which is run from
your local computer.
