Staff participation in administrative decision-making.
Victoria Hospital Corporation in London has adopted a collaborative management model that involves the participation of medical, union and non-union staff in the administrative decision-making process within predetermined parameters. Reactions have been favourable from all sides--positive feedback from the groups involved and minimal negative public response to the sensitive decisions made concerning downsizing. Early indicators suggest increasing further the participation of union and non-union staff in decision-making on multiple levels, but with clearly defined "boundaries of responsibility."
