Democratized Labor Force

A Democratized Labor Force is an idea I came up with for improving businesses and employment. It's a term that illustrates the concept of a unique work force style or concept. A Democratized Labor Force means a work force where workers have a say in the way a business operates. They offer suggestions and ideas to their boards and their boards grant them a level of consideration, implementation, and autonomy when they perform their jobs. The main idea is that, as long as workers do their job and meet non-instranious metrics and maintain safety protocols, they are given autonomy in their jobs. This gives a labor force the ability to develop work-centered communities, work culture, and hopefully result in taking pride in their work. Hopefully this allows employees and staff to grow and and further their careers. Essentially, work becomes a community. 

With this structure, leadership can blend with lower level workers and a business is homogenized resulting in a semi-workplace collective. This even allows lower level workers to suggest ideas and advocate for large decisions which brings a business to a single goal of making better products and profits. 

Employees can advocate for specific benefits and amenities where a business can designate a road map to help make employees happy and maintain employee satisfaction which rewards productivity. An example can be an on-sight day care for children, better medical benefits, perhaps even a day where a business offers activities and games to bring their employees together. I thought it would be fun to have nerf battles at a jobsite. Its probably the best way to bring co-workers together and get to know each other on a more deeper and authentic level. Employees can also advocate for better training, perhaps even the use of virtual reality training. Perhaps find solutions to make tasks become addicting as if playing a video game. 

I think the idea of a Democratized Laborforce could bring stability and pride back to the workforce where employees aren't just treated like a number, but part of a community and something that grows.
