What is Employee Empowerment?

[bandy34]

Hi

Employee empowerment is a term used to express the ways in which non-managerial staff can make autonomous decisions without consulting a boss/manager. These self-willed decisions can be small or large depending upon the degree of power with which the company wishes to invest employees. Employee empowerment can begin with training and converting a whole company to an empowerment model. Conversely it may merely mean giving employees the ability to make some decisions on their own.

There are employee empowerment workshops, books and articles. There is even a magazine called Empowerment that can help a company converting to employee driven decision-making. The thinking behind employee empowerment is that it gives power to the individual and thus makes for happier employees. By offering employees choice and participation on a more responsible level, the employees are more invested in their company, and view themselves as a representative of such.

For the employee the ability to work successfully, the management must be genuinely committed to allow employees to make decisions. You can define the extent of committing. Construction of the decision-making teams is often one of the models used in the participation of employees because it allows managers and employees to contribute ideas to manage the business.

One of the best ways to understand a word or phrase is to look at the basics, such as the two words used in employee empowerment. An employee is one who is working for a business or another individual for pay. Empower can mean giving legal authority to act or promoting the actions of another by giving them the means to do so.
