Ensuring your employees are involved within the business is one of the principles of an effective Quality Management System and ISO standards. There are several important benefits of having employee involvement within an entire business that is worth considering for more robust standards.
Shared knowledge
If you involve employees in the day to day running of your company, you not only boost morale, you also encourage people to share their knowledge and skills with others, which in turn allows others to improve their skill set and learn more about the company.
Teamwork
Arguably the main benefit of engaging with people in your company is to bring one another closer together and encourage them to work as a team. People will be able to openly and honestly discuss problems or any issues they may be experiencing, which will then allow everybody to get together to work on solutions and ideas on how to rectify these issues. Teamwork is so important in the workplace.
Accountability
Another key element associated with involving others in the day to day running of your business is that they themselves will be held accountable for any errors they may make. If a certain employee is in charge or invoicing for example, and that week there was a problem with the invoicing, that person would hold their hands up, take responsibility for their error and do what it takes to make things right.
Creativity and innovation
By involving employees in your company, and showing them that they have a part to play in making your company a success, this feeling of purpose will often spur them on to get innovative and creative and come up with ideas and suggestions of how you could improve the efficiency of your business even further.
