There are a variety of ways to encourage employee participation. To promote strong employee involvement, follow these steps:

  1. Find out what parts of their jobs people find the most rewarding. Provide them with opportunities to perform these tasks.
  2. Acknowledge work that is done well. We all want to be recognized. Employees—and supervisors—need to know what they are doing is important and appreciated.
  3. Be enthusiastic. Demonstrate purpose, commitment and inspiration to your employees.
  4. Create an upbeat work environment. Use patience and understanding when working with members of your group.
  5. Create an environment of growth. Encourage employees to take on new responsibilities within their capabilities. Give employees opportunity to expand their capabilities through education and training.
  6. Lead by example. It’s not what you say or believe. It is about what you do.
  7. Be available. Encourage your employees to approach you with their work-related concerns and suggestions.
  8. Share your authority. Give employees latitude in solving problems and in performing their tasks.
  9. Share the planning. Include the those responsible for meeting objectives and goals in the process of developing them.
