Learn tips and the main challenges of participatory management
Participatory management allows employees to contribute with ideas and suggestions relevant to the improvement of work processes. This is a way of awakening the desire to seek challenges and consider different opinions. However, not all companies are ready to implement participatory management. To the personnel management specialist Sabrina Espíndola, coach and co-founder of Realize human development, the first change is to listen to what customers, employees, partners and suppliers have to say about your business and your customer service. To then deploy improvements that bring solutions and innovations to the company, for example satisfaction and organizational climate.

Invest in projects that affect relationships and deliveries search enter employees for suggestions with this public point of view, as implementation of code of ethics and conduct and performance management, bringing more personalized solutions to the public like this, "says Sabrina Espíndola.

Management models and their differences
Here on the blog, we talked about some management models and how they work in corporations, to be easy to understand, below we list the main management models and their differences:
3.0 managIt isment: is a new model that started initially from the book Management 3.0, author: APPELO, JURGEN. The Management 3.0 is a movement of innovation, leadership and management. Is redefining the concept of leadership and the management as a group responsibility. It's about working together to find the most efficient way to meet your business objectives while maintaining the happiness of workers as a priority.
Participatory management: part of the principle of listening to all stakeholders. Understand what each one thinks listening to opinion for more effective decision making for business. Is a template already widely used in Brazil and has brought good results. "I've participated in some deployments of personnel management projects using this template that brought much more engagement of employees and teams to improve the company's results, why they were making an integral and valued," says Sabrina Espíndola.
Traditional management: is that more prioritised manner which only gives relevance to the high management thinks.

"Companies that still practice this type of management, are wasting their talents. The most qualified professionals not admit more being treated with contempt and options for working in a place that brings personal and professional development and to feel happy and valued. Currently, the value of the quality of life is growing, people want to live in that moment. Thinking on happiness only when you retire is getting in disuse. Especially the new generation wants to be happy now, seeking for a professional purpose and not just obey, perform tasks and worry about paying the Bills at the end of the month, "concludes Espíndola.
