Case Study: Dreamhost
Los Angeles, CA | USA
The first time I heard about the concept of a Freedom-Centered Workplace, I immediately wanted to learn more, and quickly started thinking about ways for us to adopt organizational democracy at DreamHost. WorldBlu’s Freedom at Work model ultimately helped us grow and took our new spin-off from $0 to a $175 million sale in just two years. ”

Dallas Kashuba
CEO

Case Study: RevAsia
Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia
A lot of modern workplaces adopt designs that end up looking more like modern slavery. We do not want to be part of that broken system. We do not want to enslave creative minds. We get more out of life and work when creative minds are liberated. Freedom at Work is the source of our continued success at REV Asia. ”

Sam Wee
CEO

Case Study: Boost
Wellington | New Zealand
We were struggling. We had a structure we thought followed best practices, but it never worked. The team were disempowered, even infantilized. My epiphany came when I looked honestly at Freedom at Work. A year and a half later and the leadership team is knocking it out of the park; they’re aligned, committed and accountable. And WorldBlu has delivered benefits directly to our bottom line, with revenue doubling in one year. ”

Nathan Donaldson
CEO

Case Study: Mindvalley
Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia
Freedom at Work and organizational democracy creates a safe and trusting environment for teams to thrive. As a fast-growing company, we need to be agile, efficient, and make quick decisions, and we are able to achieve that by practicing freedom at work. With more than 45 nationalities in the office, this environment enables collaboration, innovation, and increased productivity at work. ”

Vishen Lakhiani
Founder + CEO

Case Study: HCl Technologies
Nodia | India
We used Freedom at Work during the Great Recession to really engage employees. We needed to save $100 million, but with their ideas, we saved $260 million—and no one was laid off. In fact, we grew 21 percent and stayed profitable even while our competitors were suffering losses and reducing head count. With freedom and democracy in the workplace, we became one of the world’s fastest-growing IT companies, doubling our market cap to more than $20 billion and tripling our revenue and income. We were also recognized in Fortune as having the “World’s Most Modern Management.” ”
