High Involvement Leadership

Employee involvement used to be what enlightened employers did voluntarily. But over the next few years it’s what most employers will have to do by law. That should be good news for UK plc - employee involvement is consistently linked to high performance. But creating a truly involved, participatory workforce is proving a huge challenge as organisations struggle to find a new definition for the employee/employer relationship in a modern age.

This report makes the case for involvement and outlines steps firms can take to raise involvement based on its three commonly associated processes:

• keeping staff informed
• organising the consultation process
• encouraging staff to play a bigger role in decision-making

We then look at why a new concept - employee engagement - is gaining favour. Finally, we invite managers to test their readiness for high involvement leadership, with tips to raise performance.
