It is the process of giving power of authority to those who previously had a limited amount of either one. This paper elaborates on the fact that employees can and are able to handle more responsibility. Empowerment is used through all aspects of an organization. Communication is key to successful implementation of a program and can transfer between all employees when companies have a more horizontal structure. When the lines are open for information and resource sharing then all groups can learn and pass on what they know. Families, women, and youth/teacher relationships are also able to implement empowerment. Empowerment is a way of life and not just a management buzzword. Current trends within management will provide examples on programs that are currently available for companies to use and introduce within their organization. A survey was also conducted and tests were performed to determine whether gaps appear between generations and gender. The results showed that there were only slim difference. The real division was from employment. Workers need to be employed in order to experience how empowerment can work. Recommendations and conclusions were all based upon research results and statistical analysis. The following paper will elaborate upon each topic mentioned within this paragraph in regards to employee empowerment.
