Role

Whether people understand their role within the organisation and whether the organisation ensures that the person does not have conflicting roles

  • The organisation provides information to enable employees to understand their role and responsibilities.

  • Systems are in place to enable employees to raise concerns about any uncertainties or conflicts they have in their role and responsibilities.
