Verkiezingen medewerkersraad 21/12
The start-up of the employee council is now really approaching. The period during which people could apply ends tonight (Monday 18/12). In this article, we explain more about the elections.
The idea of the employees' council was launched in September and aims to convey internal concerns and comments to the management in a structured way and to look for solutions together in a constructive way. Thus, every voice can be heard and employees can take part in decisions.
The employee council must consist of a balanced representation of the entire organisation and therefore consists of max. 8 participants: 2 people each from each of the four different categories, namely: Bureau Brussel / Bureau Gent / Werven Vlaanderen (projects & warehouse) and Werven Brussel (warehouse and projects).
Over the past few months, every colleague had the opportunity to register for this staff council. We currently count 13 registrations. This means we are organising elections to finalise the composition of the council.
Conduct of the elections
On Wednesday 20/12, the candidates for the employee council will be announced.
On Thursday 21/12, every employee will have the opportunity to cast his/her votes completely anonymously. Voting is NOT compulsory. However, it is important for the organisation to see how many people actually vote, which is why we will always note the names of those who vote (don't worry: we will not see your ballot paper). Those who do not vote will not be judged negatively or have any comments.
You can vote from 9am until just before the start of the team meeting (3.30pm). The place where you can cast your vote is next to the open office space in Jette (former office of the Front-office team). You can pick up your voting form at Simon Paulin's desk (near the designers B2C). Simon has the neutral function that day, will help ensure that the voting proceeds correctly and will also note how many people came to vote.
You can cast your vote by indicating two people per category on the voting form who you think deserve a place on the staff council. If there are not enough candidates for a certain category, this will have a direct effect on the total number of members of the Staff Council (if only 1 colleague from the category "Recruit Flanders" has registered, only 7 people will sit on the Staff Council). You will be able to deposit your form in a closed box.
Are you already on leave on this election day but would still like to cast your vote? You can do so by giving your proxy to a colleague of your choice. However, this person must be able to prove your proxy. Electronic confirmation of this (via e-mail) is therefore necessary.
After the team meeting/after voting, one person from team HR will count these votes together with a volunteer. We are still looking for a helping hand for this. Do you feel called? Then send an e-mail to hr@energyvision.be (candidates for the staff council may of course not count ;-) ).
As soon as the votes have been counted, the composition of the staff council will be communicated during the winter party.
Finally, a warm call to every colleague to cast your vote! Together, we will make the Staff Council a collective success!
