Communication and Involvement

 

According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)  “Employee participation is defined as ‘a process of employee involvement designed to provide employees with the opportunity to influence and where appropriate, take part in decision making on matters which affect them”.

While

Employee involvement is a variety of processes, designed to engage the support, understanding and best possible contribution of all employees in an organisation and their commitment to its objectives’.

1.       Organisations can involve employees in decisions making by asking employees for their opinion when it’s time to renovate the store.

2.      Rewards, which should be tied to suggestions and ideas as well as performance.

3.      Employee decision making, which can take many forms, from determining work schedules to deciding on budgets or processes.

4.      Always ask for every employee’s opinion.

Social networking is seen to be very important in an organisation in this modern age, and the firm I researched is called Total Gift Galore this organisation makes use of twitter as its social network medium, twitter had all the information, of what the new products and services they have to offer in store, also had information for staff updates and schedule changes.

To conclude, in every organisation it is very important to involve staff, from the lowest level of the organisation in decision making this can be seen as motivating the staff and a form of appreciation. Also social network could  be the new form communication between staff, due to the advancement of technology.
