Workers' Self-Directed Enterprise (WSDE)

A Workers' Self-Directed Enterprise (WSDE) is a type of business model where employees have complete control over their work environment and decision-making processes. In a WSDE, workers collectively manage the organization, making choices about operations, profits, and governance. This model promotes collaboration, accountability, and shared responsibility, allowing workers to directly influence their job conditions and benefits. It contrasts with traditional business structures where decisions are typically made by a few owners or executives. WSDEs aim to empower workers, enhance job satisfaction, and create a more equitable workplace.
