What Makes Our Award
so distinct is What We Measure
What makes our certification so distinct from other awards
is that what we measure is so unique.
Rising above conventional “pop” surveys, our Freedom at Work Scorecard™,
which determines certification eligibility, looks deeper than mere engagement,
satisfaction, trust, or happiness levels.
Instead, it delves into your leadership and organizational design –
the leading factor for driving growth, engagement, and purpose within your workplace.
Our innovative tool, available in 14 languages, meticulously gauges
your organizational design against the enduring yet timely
10 Principles of Organizational Democracy, spanning three critical dimensions:
the individual, leadership, and the performance of your systems and processes.

Purpose + vision

integrity

dialogue + listening

transparency

accountability

decentralization

individual + collective

choice

fairness + dignity

reflection + evaluation

WorldBlu Certification is the top award in the world for democratic organizational design. Apply Now.
