Get employees in the game with catchball

Article Abstract:

The 'catchball' is a novel process in which the management involves the employees right from the development of plans to the implementation. However, unless it is properly used, the process cannot effectively succeed. Catchball involves participation of employees in the process of planning by inviting them to discussions to give suggestions, and pondering over the suggestions and putting them to effective use. The process is beneficial to employees and the management.
