If you cannot identify the resources, call your training and development office for assistance. Participation is information driven . If employees are expected to make quality inputs into planning, working, and evaluating, they will need good information to start with. But managers need to get beyond that and routinely put relevant information into the hands of employees and help them see why it is important. And more than that, expect them to use it to do their jobs more effectively.
Participation takes time up front to save time later.
For many managers, the important thing is to get things moving, and produce results. If and when problems emerge, they can be dealt with. Research has shown that the extra time is a good investment in terms of employee understanding and ownership of a project and in terms of eliminating problems. Managers need to resist the urge to act at the expense of planning. Participation must be an expectation not an option.
