Definition
- Employee (or worker) participation refers to an array of workplace arrangements and techniques that include quality circles, employee involvement, self-managed teams, total quality management, as well as co-governance structures such as joint union-management and employee-ownership programs. Employee participation entails more actively involving workers in workplace decision making, ranging from adopting a suggestion box, to establishing off-line meetings for employees and managers to improve work processes, to structural changes leading to workplace democratization.
