During the 1980s, many companies embarked on ‘culture change’ programmes that were designed to achieve a shift from traditional command and control models of management to more open, participative styles founded on employee involvement. New employee relations initiatives designed to communicate change and get closer to employees were a fundamental feature of this transformation. Here, Dr Caldwell proposes a model of employee involvement and communication, which helps to clarify the nature of the shift from the closed to the open organization of the future.
