Achieving Leader - Employee Involvement

Involvement is not about asking for opinions — it's about creating the conditions for meaningful contribution. This workshop focuses on the three factors that research shows are essential for genuine employee involvement: access to meaningful work, information and resources, and the ability to influence solutions.

Key Concepts

Access to Meaningful Work

People are most engaged when their work has clear purpose and connects to something larger. Leaders who help employees see the significance of their contributions — and who design roles that leverage individual strengths — unlock discretionary effort that no incentive program can match.

Access to Information and Resources

Employees cannot contribute what they don't know. Leaders who share business context, performance data, and strategic direction enable informed decision-making at every level. This factor also includes ensuring people have the tools, training, and support they need to succeed.

Access to Solutions and Decision-Making

True involvement means employees have real influence over how work gets done. When leaders invite participation in problem-solving and decision-making — not just execution — they tap into the collective intelligence of their teams.

What You'll Learn

  • Assess current involvement levels across your team or organization
  • Design work that is meaningful and connects to organizational purpose
  • Build information-sharing practices that enable better decisions
  • Create genuine opportunities for employee input and influence
  • Avoid "pseudo-participation" that breeds cynicism
  • Measure involvement outcomes and track improvement
