 After having spent years in the construction
industry as a civil engineer, Peter Grazier
began using employee involvement concepts in 1981 to improve productivity on
construction work sites. Having been significantly affected by the results of involving
employees directly in work improvement, he formed Teambuilding, Inc. in 1985.
Since that time, he has worked with over one hundred organizations in all industries
throughout the United States and Canada, and his work had been noted in more than
seventy-five publications including The Wall Street Journal.
He
is the author and publisher of two books on employee involvement and
teamwork and formerly a 12-year-old newsletter on employee involvement. Mr. Grazier was honored with
the prestigious President's Award from the Association for Quality and Participation for
his contributions to the field.
His belief is that workers have the ability
and desire to create high-performance organizations, but that this can only happen
through their involvement. And his mission is to spread that word as far as possible.
His work encompasses the entire field of
organizational collaboration, specifically, employee involvement and empowerment,
self-directed work teams, creativity and innovation, human potential, relationship
building, team building, vision-mission-values development, retreat facilitation, and
motivational speaking. His training style is entertaining with heavy
doses of experiential participant involvement.
