According to Gallup's new 142 country study on the State of the Global Workplace, only 13% of employees are engaged at work worldwide. This means, only one in eight workers are committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contribution towards their organizations. This triggers out the need of implementing various engagement tools that initiate their participation to the maximum.

Tools like co-partnership, suggestion scheme, joint consultation, Management by objective and quality circle are discussed in this paper by the way of the literature review study for the valid support. Also, scope for future study is determined in this paper related to employee participation after discussion of it's all tools.
