Most employees pick an organisation with a ‘freedom centered’ culture where they would have a say, over an organisation that has more of a rigid culture where employees lack control, or even over an organisation that rewards well with benefits to keep employees motivated. It has been found that employees having freedom in their workplace to voice out their opinions will be more productive and engaged. Hence, a democratic organisational design is key.

By ensuring that organisational democracy principles align with the business, you can be sure your employees are enthusiastic about their work, and that they will give their best. Implementing a freedom centered culture will allow your organisation to have a competitive edge. This culture will give employees a voice in the organisation, which will definitely motivate them to turn up at work every day. Transparency and effective communication are two of the primary factors when achieving to develop this culture. The leaders at every level must encourage and empower their subordinates for this to be successful. Empowering them to do so will result in employees being more productive, as they will be heard.
