This can include voting systems, debates, democratic structuring, due process, adversarial process, systems of appeal. If this sounds a little left wing, it’s because it is and can pose a risk to the organisation as democratic initiatives can be taken over by extremists and twisted so that they no longer conform to their original intent so that the organisation becomes a toxic workplace.
Workplace democracy can be implemented in a variety of ways, which are subject to the size, culture, and other variables of the organisation itself and can vary from a total democratic system to employers asking opinions of employees without taking into consideration their beliefs and opinions.
