action_plan:

ACTEMP agrees with the need identified in this recommendation. Using a web-based tool would allow employers to communicate and engage with businesses in a more efficient way. It would help UMFCCI reach a broader range of businesses and therefore be more representative in its policy and advocacy work. Current levels of mobile phone penetration suggest that there may not be major barriers to the use of a well-designed engagement tool, though it is important that this mobile based, given the relative lack of computers. However, in our view this would be a labor intensive work that would not be possible with the current and small budget set aside for the website. However, moving funding from other areas is a possibility. In view of the current staffing shortages at UMFCCI, though, it is also unlikely that this type of activity could be undertaken without the addition of new staff. It is recognized, though, that UMFCCI does have the funds available for this. In conjunction with the above recommendation on increased staffing levels, initial consultations on this could be held with UMFCCI, including discussions on website and staffing plans.

title:

UMFCCI (ideally in partnership with other employers; organisations, should set up a web based issue tracker, so that members (and other) can follow and contribute to issues. This could be integrated into the new website already intended to provide advice and guidance on labour law. It would make it much easier to consult with members and would offer them a way to have their say without having to come to meetings or participate in working groups. (Medium priority; should be possible within the budget already set aside to set up the website.)
