Employee's Participation in Management in MNCs in India

This Research has defined, briefly some of the key issues and trends in Industrial relations in the wake of Globalization with particular reference to India. This is linked to the ILO Global Product on Supporting collective bargaining and sound industrial and employment relations, involving close collaboration between the Industrial and Employment Relations. The national studies aim at analyzing the degree of employee participation within the enterprise, the forms such participation has taken, the issues that have been its focus, and its impact on workers rights, employment conditions, and the economic efficiency of the enterprise. Employee participation at workplace level facilitates better labour-management communication, prevents and absorbs disputes and helps to find solutions for both work and production-related issues. It has also the potential to reflect the voices of those whose trade union representation tends to be either low or absent. Various employee participation practices can thus play a complementary role to promote collective bargaining and sound industrial relations, so long as they are not used as replacements for collective bargaining.
