Company Top level
Authorities should or should not take employees suggestions or ideas to take
any decisions. Discuss.
Getting proposals from workers seems to be becoming a vogue
in the corporate culture; many cite several benefits of this method fostering innovation
within an organization thought there are others who treat this technique with
indignation.
Seeking suggestions from employees and workers can be highly
beneficial in all areas of business: 'Creativity knows no bounds': an
establishment that allows its workers to openly share their ideas with each
other and higher rungs, always fares better, as it is able to wring out exceptionally
outstanding advice – to combat problems; and attain better outcomes – from their
internal resources. Workers do not only have an experience of ground realities
but are also well-informed about the future prospects and areas that can be
improved.
Similarly, commercial and non-commercial concerns letting
their workers – at every level – share their imaginative views, can reap rich
benefits in form of motivated workforce and their exceptional and outstanding
performance. When a company invites suggestions from employees, regardless of
their position in the organization, it makes them feel belonged to, hence stimulating
the employees to give their best to their work.
However, the practice of sourcing ideas from the workforce
is not bereft of dark shades, as many detractors opine. Allowing workers to
suggest can often lead to chaos, in terms time taken for sourcing and implementing
advice. Quite often, as it has been observed, management get inundated with
blitz of diverse suggestions which can take long to filter and choose the best
and most practical idea; thereby delaying strategically important decisions.
Therefore, despite employees advising surely being a good
practice, it may not be as useful, in all realms of business, as one may desire:
henceforth extreme caution should be exercised while choosing where to let
workforce shell out an idea or two.
