Workplace plans Sample Clauses

Workplace plans. The federations recommend that the various plans prepared in workplaces be combined into a practical entity. The work community development plan pursuant to the new Act on Co-op- eration within Undertakings may include the occupational safety and health action programme, the equality plan and the non-discrimination plan. The joining of the plans into an efficient entity helps to get an overall view, reduces the administrative load, facilitates the updating of the plans and helps to focus the discussion on the different themes to respond to the everyday needs in the workplace. The federations find it important to promote equality between genders and non-discrimination in workplaces. According to section 6 of the Equality Act, in companies with at least 30 employees, the em- ployer prepares an equality plan in co-operation with staff representatives and implements an associated pay survey. The plan is updated annually unless otherwise locally agreed. The pay survey related to the equality plan can be locally agreed to be conducted every three years, if an equality plan is prepared each year. According to section 7 of the Non-Discrimination Act, an employer with a minimum of 30 em- ployees on a regular basis must prepare a plan concerning measures to promote equality (an equality plan). The plans for promoting equality and non-discrimination as well as their implementation in- crease the appeal of the organisation as an employer, the well-being of the staff, the develop- ment of their duties and working conditions and the improvement of their work performance. If necessary, the parties will organise guidance and training. According to the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings (334/2007), companies falling within the scope of the Act must prepare annual personnel and training plans in co-operation negoti- ations. When the new Act on Co-operation within Undertakings enters into force, the personnel and training plan will become the work community development plan. Section 9 of the new Act on Co-operation within Undertakings includes provisions on the work community development plan.

Workplace plans. The unions recommend that the various plans to be drawn up in the workplace be combined into a practical whole. In accordance with the new Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, the work community development plan can include the occupational health and safety action plan, the equality plan and the non-discrimination plan. Combining the plans into a functional whole makes it easier to understand the overall picture, reduces the administrative burden, helps maintain the plans and refine the development targets.
