Total Participation Management vs Human Resource Management

People usually ask me what is the difference between Total Participation Management and the way that people are managed on regular basis. The simple answer is that in TPM people are treated as persons, while in HRM they are treated as resources.

But there is also more detailed answer. In companies managed by total participation the recruitment process is very long and thorough, but employees are very rarely discharged. Employees are offered full knowledge and understanding of basic financial documents. They understand business process. They are owners. They are rewarded for company's performance. They make decisions for themselves and for the company. Sometimes I hear that companies have some of these feature. It might be true. Yet, companies managed by TPM have it all.
