There are many advantages when it comes to empowering employees. Once employees feel that they are valued and respected within their company they take more pride in their work and put forth a better attitude and work ethic. Empowered employees also feel like they have more of a part within a company and will work hard to come up with ways to become more efficient and help the company grow.
. Some of the more day to day advantages of empowered employees is that they come in and work their scheduled hours with less absenteeism, there is less turn-over (saving both hiring and training costs) and they work harder and more efficiently when they are on the clock. Companies who have put employee empowerment into practice see a better bottom line, happier employees, and (if a customer based business) happier customers. Many companies have found it to be a win-win situation and well worth the time to put into practice.
