Initiate employee input

Article Abstract:

There is a sequence of steps to take when soliciting or receiving employee input to management. It should be widely known in the company that such input is welcome. Employees should be informed of the decision-making process of the company and appropriate procedures. Whenever input is received, it should be carefully listened to. Management-by-walking-around is a good way to get input. Making and prioritizing agendas should be obligatory when submitting suggestions. Employees should be encouraged to think in terms of solutions, not problems. Any suggestion should reflect: an understanding of the department and organization; how the recommendation affects the product or service involved; what its influence would be on profitability; and how it impacts human resources and other departments. Follow-ups and updates on suggestions are vital to the success of participatory programs.
