So what exactly is employee involvement and how can organizations benefit from it? Employee involvement can be defined as:When employees participate directly to help an organization fulfill its mission and meet its objectives by applying their ideas, expertise, and efforts towards problem solving and decision makingMore specifically, employee participation can be broken into: representative participation (through unions), direct communication, and upward problem solving.
