A step-by-step guide to help managers launch and run an employee forum that promotes engagement and open communication.
Purpose of the guide
To support managers in creating a structured, inclusive employee forum that encourages open communication and employee engagement across the organisation.
What is an employee forum?
An employee forum is a group of elected or nominated employees who meet regularly with management to discuss workplace matters, raise concerns, and suggest improvements to enhance working conditions and culture.
Why have an employee forum?
Employee forums are a valuable tool for building trust and collaboration between staff and leadership.
They provide a safe, structured space for employees to voice ideas, concerns, and feedback. This can lead to faster identification and resolution of workplace issues, improved morale, and stronger employee engagement.
