In restructuring, jobs are expanded so that workers can participate in managerial functions like planning and controlling. Employees are allowed to use their own judgement to make decisions about their work. They also participate with their supervisors in problem solving and goal setting. Team effort Team efforts are programs designed to bring employees together to work as a single group. The types of teams practical for use in job redesign include problem solving teams and management teams.
Work teams allow employees the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and ideas.
Uninvolved employees can play an big role in shaping procedures and policies and improving operations by becoming involved in a group that has the authority to make decisions. Participatory decision making involves techniques that give average employees a chance to influence managerial decisions. Job sharing Job sharing allows two or three employees to fill one job. They share the job's salary and benefits while working part-time. Not only are turnover and absenteeism lower in job-shared jobs, but productivity is higher.
