My friends at WorldBlu are looking for the world’s most democratic companies. Is your workplace among them?

WorldBlu CEO Traci Fenton writes:

The time has never been better for honoring the mavericks of freedom in the workplace, and inspiring others.

The WorldBlu Search for the Most Democratic Workplaces?? is a GLOBAL search from November 1, 2006 until February 16, 2007 designed to identify organizations from the for-profit, non-profit, government, and education sectors practicing organizational democracy.

Recognizing the Mavericks, Inspiring Others:
We believe there are many highly successful and profitable – yet often unnoticed – examples of democracy in the workplace. These organizations are defying convention, rewriting the rules of business, and pioneering the next generation of organizational design and leadership. The WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces?? seeks to shine a spotlight on these champions of freedom and inspire others in the process.

The WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces 2007:
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.

Basically, they need as many organizations as possible to take their scorecard and participating companies not only learn how democratic they are compared to others, they also get specific tips on how they can become more democratic.

Of course there is a huge link between democracy and happiness at work. People who work in democratic organizations are more involved, take more responsibility, are more motivated, more productive and happier than employees of authoritarian companies. This also makes democratic organizations more successful. You can read all about it here.

So go check out the scorecard and sign up your company!
