What does it mean to be an owner? In We the Owners: Employees Expanding the American Dream, employee-owners from New Belgium Brewing, Namasté Solar, and DPR Construction answer this important question.
Successfully thriving in the global economy of the 21st century and beyond will require new business models and strategies to enable the American Dream of opportunity and economic prosperity. One model that is an alternative is the employee-ownership model (e.g. ESOP, stock/stock options, cooperatives).
We the Owners captures stories from the founders and employees sharing the workers’ perspectives on shared ownership structures, highly empowering corporate cultures, linked reward and risk incentives,
and human-capital innovation models.
The film follows as decisions are made on founding the company, expansion, succession, recruitment, and layoffs.
