THE MORALDNA OF EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANIES

Better management and leadership through employee ownership

Nine in 10 people (90%) working in employee-owned companies describe its leadership style as ‘high performing, visionary, democratic and coaching’, compared to just six in 10 (58%) working in non-employee-owned businesses.

That’s according to CMI and MoralDNA™ who explore the performance and productivity benefits to organisations of employee ownership in The MoralDNA of Employee-Owned Companies: Ownership Ethics and Performance.

The report provides employers, and managers and leaders, with compelling, practical insight from research into the positive impact employee ownership makes on how a business is managed.
