Kentucky-based materials manufacturer Universal Woods operates on one core principle:
“We trust the people we’ve hired.”
National Fund Senior Advisor Steve Dawson speaks with Universal Woods’ management and frontline workers to understand how a company can invest in its long-term success by investing in its employees. From that premise flows all major workforce decisions:
- Eliminate the role of supervisor
- Share financial information
- Build team-managed teams
- Invest in everyone’s education
- Encourage participation throughout the organization
