In this episode our old punks sink their dentures into the question whether Employee Ownership is the route staff engagement and therefore to success. They discuss:
- The woes of the John Lewis department store and whether its employee ownership model is at risk of being undermined by possible new measures
- The perils of picking one or two incentives from the employee ownership world, without going all the way. Those unintended consequences strike again...
- How democratic decision-making processes are increasingly supported by new technologies to benefit from the knowledge of all employees
- That employee-owned doesn't always mean employee-centric
