Employee involvement can be described as a means to dramatically change the work environment. It is a mechanism to involve all employees in an organization into the thinking process. It can be used to generate ideas and solve problems. Employee involvement recognizes that every employee, from the least skilled, to the most skilled, has some particular talent or skill. The most under utilized resource of many companies is the knowledge and skill of its employees.
The underlying principle of employee involvement is that work becomes more challenging and interesting for employees as their knowledge and skills are improved. Using this approach, employees are able to influence the outcome of decisions that affect their job. For employees, this approach offers not only additional job satisfaction, but also more direct rewards such as higher pay or job security. Employee involvement programs can benefit both company and employees by using its most valuable effective resource-people.
What are the benefits of an effective employee involvement program? Employee involvement programs can increase efficiency, productivity, and job satisfaction as well as determine the long-range growth or survival of a company in today’s competitive business environment. This paper will examine the elements of an effective employee involvement program and the obstacles that should be avoided. We will then analyze three Wisconsin companies that have succeeded in offering and implementing an employee involvement program. Finally, we will examine the program currently in place at General Electric Medical Systems and offer suggestions and recommendations for future growth.
Employee involvement is a philosophy of management that should be program-implemented if American business is to prosper in our ever-changing world. It is a method to utilize all of the resources available to us, especially the human mind, with its infinite capacity for creativity and ingenuity.
