the Consultative Committee. 2. The Secretary-General, in consultation with the Bureau of the Council may convene Sectoral Ministerial meetings to consider and take decisions on technical sectoral issues not having budgetary implications.
the Consultative Committee is the appropriate staff forum for discussion of the organisation’s approach to Best Value. Specific issues that the Consultative Committee may comment on are: • How services could be reviewed in respect to the ‘best on offer’ and the benchmarking comparisons selected. • The basis of assessments of value for money. • The process for developing and undertaking a program of consultation with the community. • The assessment of opportunities for local employment growth or retention. • The measurement systems used to assess performance and set targets. • The methodology used by the employer to demonstrate that it has been responsive to the needs of the community. • The process used by the employer to demonstrate that services are accessible to the members of the community. • How the employer demonstrates continuous improvement including plans for service improvement and enhancement. • How affordability and access are to be balanced. • The measures selected by the employer for demonstrating the achievement of Best Value principles and how these are reported.
the Consultative Committee will appoint a subcommittee of employees to promote options to improve the organisational health, wellbeing and reasonable workloads.
the Consultative Committee will work with all parties to ensure the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity, as outlined in clause 1.5.8 of this Agreement, are upheld.
