When employees feel a part of the development of the office and the leadership, they feel as though they have a sense of ownership in what happens. This feeling of ownership can make employees feel more committed to their jobs and usually feel more confident about the work that they do. Building a sense of ownership among employees allows them to share the failures and successes of the office. This will make them feel not like they are working for the company, but that they are part of the company.
Tips to help build employee ownership:
- Listen to their input and ideas
- Offer advancement opportunities
- Keep all employees informed and ‘in the loop’
