Indeed the roles of the HR Manager in the organization have changed. The HR Manager of today is managing with the aim of balancing the organization’s goals and objectives with the welfare and development of the employees. Because of these changes, the management style of organizations has shifted from bureaucratic to more participative, employee-centered approaches. Ranney and Carlson (1992) argue that an organization’s HR policies, practices and rules are good indicators of its approach to dealing with people and human behavior. An organization’s managerially directed actions affect employee perceptions leading to a strengthening or readjustment of individual values.
As a result of the shift in HR practices and procedures and the changes in the roles and responsibilities of the HR Manager, the employees are granted with more authority in making decisions especially in issues that relate to their jobs. Empowerment generally connotes the granting of authority or ability. Employee empowerment, therefore, means the transferring of some managerial authority, prerogative, or ability to employees (Peter et al 2002). There are different dimensions of empowerment:
1. Power – On the simplest level, employee empowerment is simply granting power to those doing the work (Block 1987). This dimension envisions a mechanistic model of a bureaucratic organization, with the top levels granting limited power and holding individuals closely accountable (Ettorre 1997).
2. Decision-Making – The most common dimension of empowerment is decision-making. Empowerment is the granting of authority to make decisions. Through empowerment, employees feel that they are involved in making decisions Herrenkohl et al 1999).
3. Autonomy – Employee’s autonomy in doing their jobs is one of empowerment’s dimensions. Autonomy is commonly described as a sense of self-determination. Empowerment means that workers are not restricted in what they do but have boundaries that are appropriate (Dew 1997).
4. Responsibility – Empowerment requires employee accountability, but is a general responsibility, rather than supervisory oversight of job tasks. This dimension has been described as allowing employees to track their own performances and having equal responsibilities for organizational results or success.
Indeed, employee empowerment has changed the decision-making process in organizations as employees are given more opportunities to take part in the said process.

conditions or differences applicable to different employment categories
Developing a compensation system and packages that do not have any explicit or inherent bias based
on non professional considerations
Providing the same compensation to staff members with the same competencies doing the same jobs
Emphasizing similarities in policies and practices that apply to all staff, rather than on few
differences in conditions of employment
Progressively standardizing social benefits such as insurance and occupational health programs

or job requirements
