Does employee voice make a difference?


Employee voice does not mean simply as a granting a chance to employee for their say. It's much more than that, Employee voice means way of communication where employee will feel that they are making a change & they were heard to the management & they are part of the company.

Where an organization thinks that employees as not trouble makers but asset for the company this process is easier. When employees will be listened to, they are more engaged, motivated, in forums they are encouraged to share the expertise & experience.

In modern world organizations are using more forums where they hear employee & through that process that they have simplify the working process & procedure to cut off the cost & waste. Through that organization will grow continuously & focus on customer high demanding’s.

Following are the few new forums of Employee voice can be heard in the modern structure.

01. Online Employee engagement surveys – In this forum employer can get whatever the answers they need to. 

02. Idea Street – Modern version of Suggestion box. But it is collected through online source.

03. Graffti Walls - This where people can write their ideas or what they think & others can comment on them.

04. World Café - Where employees talk over a coffee with each other, They get to talk to each other about what went wrong or how they achieve throughout the day.

05. Lean projects – In this project employees make processes simplify & efficient.

Since in present more young people are in the work force & by making employee voice unheard-able organizations are in much risk where the younger people always seek attention to them & when it’s not the case they will use Social media as a platform . So Employer might be in a risk of ‘Named & shamed’ online.

So still do you think that employee voice does not make a difference in an organization, hope this blog has change your thinking.

  1. Employee voice has the power to make changes and organizations should treat their work force as their main assets. It will nice that if we can practice all what you mentioned, in our country to make a real different. And as you mentioned there are many videos and voice cuts going around the social media criticizing the organizations, so there is need arise to hear employee voice.
