Empowering Third-Sector Workers Training Kit

In light of the rapid changes in the business environment and the pressures accompanying global competition, charitable organisations give attention to adopting modern management concepts to achieve competitive advantage. It is therefore not surprising that many institutions and organisations working in the charitable sector pay noticeable attention to their human resources by adopting the concept of empowerment, given its effective impact on improving performance and job satisfaction.

Employee Empowerment

It is a measure that leads to strengthening a person's belief in their own abilities, and it is a feeling and a close job commitment resulting from the employee's sense of being able to make decisions.

The Importance of Employee Empowerment

• A practice that changes the existing power pyramid in the institution by shifting power down the organisational pyramid.

• Supporting continuous improvements to processes and products.

• Achieving the satisfaction and loyalty of beneficiaries.

• Freeing senior and middle management levels from a strict supervisory role.

• Increasing employees' satisfaction towards their work and their organisations, which makes their performance better.

• The institution gaining high capability and flexibility that enables it to adapt quickly to the changes around it.
