employee involvement
Workers having input
Employee involvement refers to practices that give workers a voice in workplace decisions beyond their immediate tasks.
This ranges from suggestion boxes and quality circles to representation on committees or boards.
The term often appears in management literature as a strategy for improving morale and productivity: The company credits employee involvement with reducing turnover.
Critics note it sometimes offers the appearance of participation without real power.
