Team-based organizations have replaced traditional hierarchies with flatter structures that allow for quicker decision making and responses to customers. Key positions that were once entry-level have more opportunities for recognition and management responsibilities. When teams make decisions, input comes from various sources like employees, customers, and suppliers to promote innovation. Recognizing employee efforts motivates higher productivity and more ideas grounded in real work. Technology requires quicker responses, so gathering innovative ideas from employees in direct contact with processes helps companies adapt and remain competitive.
