- challenges:
- Setting up a Joint Committee requires management buy-in and support to organize elections of workers and management representatives and to operate the Joint Committee. Joint Committee members need also to be trained on the mandate and functioning of the Joint Committee and on their role and contribution. Networking Joint Committees has not been strongly promoted by the Government of Qatar.
- success:
- Under Qatar labour law, companies with more than 30 workers can form a Joint Committee. As of October 2023, 72 companies formed a Joint Committee. There are more than 60.000 companies (of all sizes) registered in Qatar’s Wage Protection System.
- context:
- A Joint Committee brings together equal numbers of workers and management from a company. Joint committees are established for workers to convey a problem or suggestion to worker representatives who can discuss it with management on a Joint Committee.
- description:
- Joint Committees within the employer enterprises play a role in addressing challenges faced by workers and improving their well-being, serving as a platform where both sides can discuss issues and propose solutions. Nevertheless, they remain company specific with limited sectoral and inter-sectoral engagements. To promote their role within social dialogue there needs to be sectoral and inter-sectoral joint committees that are able to address broader labour related issues beyond company specific concerns. Joint Committee members perceive sectoral and inter-sectoral networking as having the potential to create a multiplier effect and enrich the value of Joint Committees by enabling exchanges of good practices and lessons learned.
