This short guide aims to take a practical approach toward workplace innovation. It includes practical knowledge, case studies, self-assessment, and suggested pathways to change, as well as further sources of information and support. It is based around four elements:
Empowering jobs and self-managed teams.
Flexible organisational structures, people-centred management practices and
streamlined systems and procedures based on trust.
Systematic opportunities for employee-driven improvement and innovation.
Co-created and distributed leadership combined with ‘employee voice’ in strategic
decision-making.
