Time companies used workers’ brains
It is time that New Zealand companies started to learn to use the workers’ brains. Information which does not allow employees some participation is not really relevant. These are the thoughts underlying the 1981 series of employee involvement seminars to be held next week by New Zealand Chambers bf Commerce economic education programme, Enterprise New Zealand (Hotel Russley, May 15). The purpose is to demonstrate that good industrial relations and increased productivity is a two-way deal. Mr R. J. Craig, who is a recognised research expert
on print and visual methods of communication is being brought especially from Australia for the series Mr M. C. Gorman, who has practical experience in the use of “quality circles’’ will demonstrate one possible reason why Japanese levels of productivity are four times greater than in America. If New Zealand is going to beat inflation then it will be through the action copy and not through exhortation. One way to do that is to demonstrate in the most practical manner that we are. all in this battle together, the Chambers say.
