Back to Basics: What Is Employee Empowerment?

This blog discusses the concept of employee empowerment, which involves giving employees autonomy, resources, and support to have control in their day-to-day activities with less management oversight. Empowered employees are more productive, engaged, and committed to the organization, and are more likely to embrace change and provide a better customer experience. Leaders can empower employees by encouraging communication, providing coaching and support, and creating a framework for decision-making. Recognizing employee achievements and efforts is also important to encourage employee empowerment.
