From Nonprofit Quarterly, “Increasingly, people in movement spaces are demanding to work in democratic workplaces. One model often overlooked—the worker-owned cooperative—offers the benefit of having had to grapple with questions of participation, management, and governance for decades. To explore these issues in depth, this webinar, produced by NPQ in partnership with the Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI), features three worker-owners in worker cooperatives, who discuss both the joys and the challenges of managing workplaces democratically.”
The webinar features Nicole Koch (member-owner and cofounder of Technicians for Sustainability), Yarissa Soriano (training and education manager, Democracy at Work Institute), and Anj Talley (general manager of Mandela Food Co-op). Their conversation explores, “the benefits of democratic management,” and, “what core principles define democratic management.”
