Great company culture stems from knowing how to empower employees and how to encourage them to take ownership at work. When you set your employees up for success, they become engaged, adopt an ownership mentality, and contribute fully to the success of your business.

In this video, I suggest that low employee engagement is not an employee problem, but a company culture problem. I talk about W. Edwards Deming, a quality guru who worked with Japanese managers to revolutionize manufacturing. Deming offered a solution for how to empower employees to make better products – a solution focused not on people but on process.

“Made in Japan” labels used to signify poor quality products – but not anymore. Think of successful Japanese companies such as Nintendo, Lexus, Sony, Nikon, and Panasonic. They produce some of the highest quality products in the world.

Deming believed that chaotic processes, not under-performing employees, were to blame for poor quality products. He suggested that if companies put into place effective processes and systems, employees could take ownership at work and would be better equipped to do their jobs well.

Japanese businesses implemented Deming’s ideas, thereby improved company culture, and achieved newfound success. These companies employed the same workers, so what changed? Within a better framework and a transformed environment, those employees became highly engaged and produced quality results.

Are you struggling with low employee engagement? Are you wondering how to empower employees to do their best work for your company? Improve company culture. Create a culture where every employee thinks, feels, and acts like an owner. Employees who are engaged and take ownership at work can make a world of difference.
