Article 12/2022

What are the different phases to be adopted in formulating a strategic organisational redesign model?

_____________________________________

Phase 1 should entail assessing the environment within which the organisation operates in respect of threats and opportunities, industry analysis, etc.

Phase 2 should focus specifically in assessing the organisation in respect of identified and relevant considerations, such as core competencies, organisational capabilities, culture, stakeholders, business patterns, value creation, etc.

Having executed phases 1 and 2, the strategic organisational team should be in a position to formulate the strategic intent to be adopted in such exercise – Phase 3.

Phase 4 entails the actual strategic organisational design, dealing with strategic groupings, strategic linking, alignment and value creation – this is, in essence, the restructuring process envisaged by the Labour Relations Act.

Phase 5 entails the continual aligning of the identified strategic intent with implementation that should result in the required strategy implementation.

What are the principles governing common purpose misconduct?

What are the principles governing an employee’s duty to disclose to his/her employer information about misconduct?

In Article 32, we dealt with the misconduct of deeming desertion.

In this article, we will deal with termination of employment by operation of law in the private sector – similar to deeming to be discharged in the public sector.
