The WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces 2007 Call for Applicants

NCEO founder and senior staff member

On March 6, 2007, WorldBlu will announce the first annual WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces in conjunction with the celebration of Democracy in the Workplace Day. WorldBlu is currently inviting companies from around the world that operate using organizational democracy to apply for the WorldBlu List 2007. The definition of democracy is on a number of dimensions, and is not simply (or primarily) focused on voting or other corporate governance issues, but more on day-to-day employee involvement.

Organizations apply by having their employees take the online WorldBlu Democratic Workplace Scorecard, which measures the degree of democracy in their workplace. The WorldBlu List will be comprised of organizations that took survey and scored at the top level, identifying them as one of the most democratic workplaces in the world. There is no fee to apply. Organizations must sign up by January 1, 2007, to be eligible. The WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces seeks to shine a spotlight on champions of freedom in the workplace and inspire others in the process.
