"The more employees feel empowered, the more productive they tend to be." This is the result of a global survey on employee flexibility and management control conducted by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and content management provider Laserfiche.
The survey, part of a research entitled Disciplined Autonomy: resolving the tension between flexibility and control, showed that employees feel that greater freedom leads to better job performance.
"As long as there's transparency into employee activities, there's often no need to impose strict processes and control, which can inhibit innovation and drive away talent," said Dan Armstrong, senior editor, EIU.
