Briefing Paper
1.1 Employee involvement and participation
Employee involvement (EI) is defined in CIPD (2024) as an approach where the employees are called upon to take part in formulating their input and opinion pertaining different operations of an organisation without influencing decision making. Employee Participation (EP) on the other hand is defined in CIPD (2024) as a structured strategy of employees/delegates are in a formal way engaged in making decisions by embrace of collective undertakings including work committees and unions.
Differences of EI and EP
The first criteria which differentiate the two concepts is decision-making power. Considering the EP concept, employees are facilitated with a chance to generate their input on different issues in their workplace with the final decision made by management. According to CIPD (2022), by leverage on the provided platforms including survey (questionnaires), suggestion box and team meetings, EP is successful. The outcome of this is the employees gaining a feel of high inclusion and engagement despite of failing in offering them with ultimate authority in making independent decisions. Conversely, for EP, it entails offering the employees or delegated authority (reps) with a chance for actively making decisions. The decision making is by leverage on formalised systems including joint consultation committees, work councils and union agreements involving mutual-based decisions made amongst the employees and employer.
The second criteria to differentiate the two concepts is their Formal Nature. The EI is largely informal with its large focus is embrace of flexible approaches including brainstorming strategies and open-based engagements. Conversely, EP is well planned and informed by existing frameworks where employees or reps are engaged in facilitating organisation operations or making decisions specifically pertaining to their strategic direction (Qin et al., 2016).
How EI and EP build relationships
The EI and EP have a direct correlation with building strong relationships in employment. According to Santoro et al. (2021), they both enhance trust-based relations, collaboration and commitment. Specifically, for EI, relationships are established by enhancing two-way communication including the feedback forms application and discussing in teams. The outcome of this is identified in Bulińska-Stangrecka and Bagieńska (2021) as assisting staff in appreciating their functions, improved morale and being confident in their organisation leadership.
Further, the EP facilitates staff or their representatives in participation in discussing in areas of policy development, workplace condition and set entity strategies (CIPD, 2022). The outcome of the shared function is anchoring accountable and mutual-based appreciation of each other hence sustainable relations. Hence, an entity is in a position of aligning staff interests with organisation strategies by leveraging on both approaches.
1.2 Union and non-union employee representation
Union Form (Unison)- Unison ranked as a leading UK union is mandated with promoting their staff health, capacity development opportunities and administration. According to CIPD (2025), for their enrolled members, it fights for their rewards, improved workplace working and improved employment support. For example, in 2023, Unison successfully negotiated for NHS employees increased remuneration and appropriate working conditions in line with health and safety. Additionally, unison provides a legal foundation and conflicts management strategy offering employees with strong. Bargaining power and a platform for championing workplace rights.
Non-Union (Employee Forums)– According to CIPD (2025a), the employee forums represent internal-based teams initiated by an entity for enhancing communication amongst the employees and admin/management. For instance, employee forums could be customised towards focusing on areas of employees wellbeing, satisfaction and alteration of set policy framework in an organisation. These forums does not integrate third parties with organisation management having overall power. The outcome of their input is identified in CIPD (2022a) as fostering open-based engagement with employees expressing opinion and ideas informally.
Similarities and differences
For Similarities; the union and non-union representation is broad but clear targets in representation of employees with their interests prioritised. Irrespective of if their implementation is by collective bargaining or negotiation, they prioritise on improving workplace conditions and satisfied staff (Opute & Mahmoud, 2023). Further, they promote communication amongst the staff and management teams. The process facilitate holistic conflicts management and managing any complaints and harmonious workplace co-existence.
Considering differences; the first one is that union representation operates externally and is not within the precincts of an organisation. Therefore, as noted in CIPD (2022a) it prioritise on the employees interests with zero biasness. Conversely, non-union representation including employees forums operate internally and with management control directly reducing autonomous nature and holistic.
A second difference is trade unions generally prioritise and could consider the employees demands in specific industries or jurisdiction. According to De Stefano and Taes (2023) this is while leveraging on embrace of the power for effective negotiations for appropriate legal rights and gains. This is different from the non-union forms which are organisation-based offering solution to specific organisation issues with their scope lacking broad influence.

- In conclusion, the findings in this report indicate that Woolworths is currently using Ariba and SAP systems. This study covers the annual spend of Woolworths, the portfolio of Woolworths, their Category and Risk Management.
- Based on the study, Woolworths have to reduce their annual costs, and this may be supported by automation of as many processes as possible and this will also improve their efficiency and effectiveness levels.
- Woolworths also has made significant efforts in categorising its products and managing supply and other risks by having a wide pool of suppliers.
- Further, the introduction of online shopping has greatly boosted their market reach and their competitiveness.
- Woolworths also has to consider grouping all its purchases into categories. This will greatly ease the amounts spent on buying individual items since bulk purchases allow for great discounts due to the economies of scale.
- Further, category management will ensure that the entire supply chain is managed effectively and efficiently with minimal instances of supply chain disruptions.
- Woolworths also must prioritise its stakeholders and acknowledge the role that each stakeholder plays and how this contributes significantly to the overall growth of the firm.
- Stakeholders have to be informed and involved when major decisions are to be made as this will enrich the strategies, contributions and suggestions brought forward.
- Stakeholder analysis is also key to maintain the stakeholder relations which improves not only the reputation of Woolworths but also the market share of Woolworths. This gives them a niche in their market.
