Employee influence policy

At all levels of an organization, managers must face the task of arranging people, information, activities and technology. In other words, they must define and design work.

Top management plays a very important role in balancing and integrating the interests of many stakeholders of the enterprise: shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, labor unions, trade associations, governments and so on. Top managers should consider how the interests of various stakeholders di er, how much weight those distinct interests should be given, and the mechanisms by which those various stakeholders can exercise influence over the enterprise.

Employees are major stakeholders in the enterprise, so it is critical for managers to design and administer various mechanisms for employee influence.

All policies, the design and implementation of technology and work systems, the design and administration of compensation, and the design and administration of systems for hiring, promoting, placing, and terminating employees should be examined from the perspective of how much influence employees are given over decisions in these areas. Thus, the employee influence policy area goes well beyond the traditional activities of union-management relations or employee relations or even participative management initiatives that some companies have undertaken. The policy area poses a question much broader than that typically associated with these personnel practices: how to develop a process of mutual influence between two sets of stakeholders — management and employees. Stating the task this way allows the inclusion of worker councils, grievance systems, sensing groups, opendoor policies, attitude surveys, ombudsmen, and other due process mechanisms as alternatives or additions to the mix of practices that may be applied in the interest of achieving a mutual influence process

148

appropriate to the strategy of the firm, the values of top management, and the expectations of employees and society.
