Among the most important factors of these changes, we can mention the increasing global competition, the development and expansion of information technology, and changes in the characteristics and demands of customers. The change in the conditions of today's organizations has led to a change in their attitude towards human resources. In this situation, the employees of the organization have become the main operators of the workflow and partners of the organization. Empowerment, as one of the approaches to human resources development in the last few decades, has become the basis for many positive developments in the implementation of the work activities of employees. In today's changing conditions, organizations have no choice but to make proper use of human resources. Based on this, the only factor that creates balance in the organization will be employee empowerment. Empowerment is a tool that aligns individual goals with organizational goals and creates the belief that the progress of the organization will bring benefits to the employees. Empowering people means encouraging people to participate more in decisions that are effective in their activities, that is, providing a space for people to be able to create good ideas and bring them to life. Empowerment is a vital element of business in the new world.
