1. Management’s and
Supervisor’s role

Introduction
 Over the past century companies had to make enormous
changes in how they treat their staff. There are still many
companies that try to find a way around the duties the
administration outlines for them to follow.
 The laws that are engineered to protect all staff may appear
completely out of place in varied work settings, but the primary
goal is to insure the health and safety at work for all the ones
that are employed.
 Under safety and health law, the first responsibility for that is
down to companies. As an employee, you have a duty to look
after your own health and safety at work and that of others who
might be influenced by your actions.

ILO concept of Decent Work (Cntd)


ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization (2008)
endorses Decent Work Agenda and its 4 dimensions:
(1) International labour standards and fundamental principles and
rights at work,
(2) Employment creation,
(3) Social Protection,
(4) Social Dialogue and Tripartism

Tripartism is economic corporatism based on tripartite contracts between


employers' organizations, trade unions, and the government of a country. Each
is to act as a social partner to create economic policy through cooperation,
consultation, negotiation, and compromise.

Questions around Decent Work


Workers experience decent work (or decent work deficits) from a
perspective which goes beyond the scope of traditional labour
statistics. They might ask:
• How family-friendly are work arrangements?
• Do I get a living wage?
• Do workers have to work long hours?
• Can I join a union?
• Do migrant workers face discrimination?
• What happens when I fall sick?
• How dangerous is work?
• Will I get paid maternity / paternity leave when I get a baby?
