Decision making
not only requires collection of facts and data, it demands a real experience of
the situation and empathetic approaches; it is only feasible if employees are
involved in decision making process because being a part of organization they
have more reliable data on workforce
issues.
Organization is
a group of people who direct their actions towards attainment of a common goal;
therefore middle and low level employees can provide more efficient solutions
or decisions which will enhance productivity because higher level people
generally have less penetrating data on actual alternatives out of which a best
can be selected in decision making process effectively by the employees.
Most of the time
employees feel left behind and compelled by the decisions imposed by the higher
authorities on them and sometimes that decision is not even practical which
leads to wastage of manforce. For instance, during my clinical practice as a
nurse, our manager initiated half hourly rounds in patients’ room at night
which wasted nurses’ valuable time of actual interventions and made patients so
restless and sick that hospital stay time increased and brought negative outcomes
which could be avoided if nurses could have involved in the decision making process.
In short,
including employees in this process will also motivate them and make them feel
significant in the organization which in turn will fortify better mutual relationships
and uphill struggle. However the decision should be made finally by the
managers but acquiring employees’ opinion will enhance implementation and
fruitful outcome of the decision.
