Justice Gertrude Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, a candidate for chief justice, has encouraged business organisations to include workers in the creation of rules governing the workplace.
She said that encouraging voluntary compliance at work will encourage staff to contribute to increased productivity.
Yesterday in Accra, she gave a talk in a public lecture in advance of this year's International Labour Day.
"The simpler it is for peer-to-peer reminders of best practises to be disseminated, the more stakeholders there are to own the rule, leading to strong organisational cultures founded on the accepted norm.
In light of the foregoing, this article contends that workplaces should make an effort to create records that are explicit about how stakeholders expect the workplace to be controlled for optimal efficiency, as well as these regulatory boundaries. should be developed by as many parties as possible through consensus-building, said Justice Torkornoo.
Lecture
The goal of the lecture, which was the sixth in a series being put on by the Institute of Work, Employment and Society at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), was to honour the dedication of workers to advancing their country and to consider the ethical dimensions of their responsibilities.
It was sponsored by AngloGold Ashanti and Citi TV and covered the subject of "Harnessing Good Work Ethics for Higher Productivity."
Numerous dignitaries, including representatives of labour unions, academics, justices of the Superior Courts, and media professionals, attended.
Justice Torkornoo, who is also an author, emphasised the need of include all stakeholders in the creation of rules by saying:
"A culture of order, predictability, and harmony among varied individuals is produced when regulation is made up of norms that stakeholders are aware of and contribute to creating.
To develop greater standards of behaviour, she remarked, "this culture can be carefully calibrated and guided through the upgrading of law and regulation."
Communication
Beyond workplace regulations, the Chief Justice candidate claimed that a lack of signposts, goal posts, and success indicators as well as a steady flow of information explaining why things were the way they were might have a substantial impact on workplace performance.
She asserted that effective communication will foster greater understanding and, hence, cooperation and collaboration at work.
Because any chain is only as strong as its weakest link, she continued, "Transparency, clarity, and continuity of engagement and collaborations are always critical ethical values that must be harnessed to ensure productivity."
