Co-determination integrates Organisational Development (OD) as a field of study with Employee Relationships (ER). Human Resources (HR) in companies are often so fragmented that the full function is managed in a disjointed way. This book crosses the boundaries between the functionalities and argues theoretically, (and shows practically) that the integration of different fields of HR can have huge benefits for organisations. If OD is done correctly, ER will be a much more fulfilling field; and if ER embraces co-determination, OD can add real strategic business value. Co-determination is a book rich in African philosophy, stories, narratives, cases and theory – all in a kaleidoscope of different angles studying the same topic. Different role-players have worked together in various disciplines over decades to reach this point where insights on a progressive book on co-determination can finally be shared. The wisdom inside this book will linger long after you've finished reading it. Dr Rica Viljoen's model on inclusivity, was acknowledged as one of the 10 most promising contributions to the field of Management, Spirituality and Religion by the Academy of Management in 2008. Since then, this approach to hearing the voices of the whole social system has been applied in 42 different countries with over 100,000 participants.
