Mere legislation cant make participation successful. A true
sprit of mutual cooperation and commitment to participation
must be developed on the part of both management ad labor.
Participation should be a continues process . Adequate timemust be allowed to let it take root. It has to be a slow and
steady process.
Workers and representative should be provided education
and training in the philosophy and process of participation
management.
