What is Staff Involvement?
It is a process by which people at each level in the business are given the opportunity to play a full part in designing and implementing improved ways of working. There is sufficient evidence to show that when given the opportunity, staff often have clear views about changes that positively impact their role. Management style or organisational culture frequently denies them this opportunity.
Our belief is that: ‘People own what they help to create’
We firmly believe that sustainable change and continuous improvement will only happen when people are involved and are:
- clear about the results required
- given the opportunity to design and implement the solutions
- given the appropriate resources and guidance to deliver the results
- given recognition and reward for their achievements
Our approach encourages people to become fully committed to, and take ownership for, the delivery of business improvements.
How does it work?
By providing opportunities for involvement, people are aligned behind the vision and become part of the solution and not part of the problem.
What will be achieved? An organisation that:
- Does the right things right and removes non-value adding activities
- Develops a commitment and motivation in people to achieve the required results
- Is structured to deliver high performance
- Strives to improve continually
- Recognises and rewards peoples’ contributions
- Achieves its business objectives
