Employee involvement means allowing

decisions and improvement activities that
affect them.
This doesn’t mean anarchy, but it means
that management shares its responsibilities
in decision-making with employees.
 Employee Involvement

Why is it important?

• Builds ownership and

accountability for the work
• Increases productivity
• Improves morale, motivation,
and job satisfaction
• Enhances the quality of
products or services
Gaining Competitive
Advantage Through Employee
Involvement:
Various programmes followed to
increase employee involvement:
o Letting write employee’s ideas on an "easy wipe" board in their department. 
Instead of passing untested ideas up the chain of command, the employee who
originates an idea has responsibility for its achievement.  They follow a three-
step work process: "study it, pilot it, and adopt it.“

o Each month the departments can forward the best ideas originating from its
employees to the division head. The department awards cash for the best idea
of the month.

o Idea Campaigns - The goal is to get at least one idea from everyone in the
organization.

o Mini-Kaizens - It is appropriate for all organizations seeking ways to engage

employees and their ideas.

o Idea Expositions - Employees display projects and ideas they are working
on. This kind of expositions lets individuals share ideas otherwise protected by
departmental walls.

 Tips to create a work environment that
emphasizes employee motivation through
employee involvement : (contd.)

 Express the expectation that people make decisions that will improve their work.

 Reward and recognize the people who make decisions about and improvements
in their work as heroes.

 Make certain employees know and understand your organization's mission,

vision, values, goals, and guidelines so they can funnel their involvement in
appropriate directions. Education, communication, measurement feedback and
coaching keep employee involvement from becoming a free-for-all.
 Tips to create a work environment that
emphasizes employee motivation through
employee involvement :

 Never punish a thoughtful decision. You can coach and

counsel and provide training and information following the
decision. Don’t undermine the employee’s confidence that
you are truly supportive of her involvement.

 If you are a supervisor and people come to you continually to

ask permission and receive instructions about their work, ask
yourself this question. What am I doing that makes people
believe they must come to me for each decision or
permission? You are probably communicating a mixed
message which confuses people about your real intentions.
