Power to the workers

Article Abstract:

The empowerment of the employee can be used as a safety improvement tool in the organization, but the modern management trends towards empowerment at employee level do little to encourage or support the supervisor in this task. The move towards empowerment is irreversible and is regarded as a major step, which leaves both supervisor and employee struggling due to lack of clarity of role expectation.
