The future of work is changing. Employees want more than a job. They want to be valued, have their opinions matter, and contribute to decision-making. In this session, you will learn how the worker cooperative and worker self-directed nonprofit models are helping nonprofits and social impact organizations change. Both are models for democratic workplaces that strengthen equitable relations and promote fuller participation and accountability.
