Tinashe Makamure’s Post

If you want people to abide by your policies, rules and contracts of employment, then those documents need to be clear, easy to read and understand. They need to be written in plain English, not in “legalese”. If people cannot understand your policies, then how can they be expected to abide by them? A well-written policy (or other document) can illustrate your company culture (“the way we do things round here”) and can help people to understand what is expected of them, what they will get from you in return, and why it is all important. If you want to know more about producing clear policies and other documents which your employees understand and use, then read my latest blog. https://lnkd.in/eRKAin2k

As we strive for collaboration and understanding in labour relations, we must also emphasise the importance of accountability. When employees know they can raise concerns about unethical behaviour without fear of retaliation, it strengthens the overall trust within the workplace. Accountability and transparency are the cornerstones of good governance, and it’s up to all of us to ensure these values are upheld, ensuring that every voice, especially those speaking out against misconduct, is truly valued. #Accountability #Whistleblowing #Governance #EthicalLeadership #Collaboration #LabourRelations
