Organizational democracy is freedom within a business framework.

It is a strategy for organizational design and a way of leading and managing an organization. It is achieved when an organization uses the principles of democracy to design the way it operates daily, cultivating a workplace that enhances employee potential achieving its business goals and positively impacting the community.

The term democracy comes from the Greek words demos, "the people," and kratein, "to rule." The essence of democracy is the concept that people have the power and ability to shape their lives and their future both individually and collectively. Organizational democracy acknowledges that democracy should not, and cannot, be limited to the political sphere alone but can also be extended to organizations - with effective, empowering, and profitable results.
