In order to innovate successfully, companies should involve their employees in that process. An HR policy that focuses on employee involvement therefore also benefits innovation. This is evident from an analysis of European data by researchers at KU Leuven.
Researchers from HIVA-KU Leuven set to work with data for 5609 companies from 28 different countries. They found a link between the presence of technologies, such as advanced robots or big data, and employee engagement: companies that empower their employees and involve them more in the implementation of new technologies innovate more. This relationship applies in every European country, in both large and small companies.
