讓員工成為公司經營者 英專家提出CoCo company概念
2007/02/20 15:05 記者羅紜辰/編譯
可能有不少人打算在年後換工作,一家公司到底要如何留住人才?或者說,要怎樣樣才
能凝聚員工對公司的向心力?英國最近提出了一種CoCo company的概念,建議私人
企業開放員工認股,讓員工成為公司的經營者,如此一來,員工不會隨便請假,工作也
更有效率。
如何讓員工樂在工作,工作會更有效率?英國員工協會最近針對私人企業提出所謂的
CoCo company新概念,第一個Co代表的是共同擁有(co-owned),也就是開放員工
認股成為公司的經營者,一同為公司業績打拼,進而達到CoCo company概念中第二
個Co的涵義:共同創造(Co-created)。
專家理查李維斯:「不能只是擁有公司股權而已,還要參與公司部分運作,所以讓員工
參與公司決策,這就是共同創造的意思。」
專家建議,私人機構要提升公司的競爭力,不妨開放員工認股,讓員工把公司當作自己
的事業來經營,如此一來,員工不會隨隨便便請假,因為公司賺錢, 自己也賺錢;百貨
連鎖公司John Lewis,就是英國相當成功的CoCo company,25%的獲利成長率完
全歸功於提供員工認股、創新開放的環境,讓員工更樂在工作。
專家理查李維斯:「如果公司決定上市,不要只看當下,要為公司長遠利益著想,任何
時候都可能出現變化,多為員工著想、提供員工認股,雖然比例可能不大,不過假以時
日,得到的效益可能很大。」
根據統計,英國開放員工認股的企業生產力普遍高出1到1成5,潛在的經濟利益將近500
億美金,證實入股制度,的確是個可以讓員工與公司的利益與共、強化員工向心力的有
效方法。
The CoCo company as an antidote to private equity ideas
By Stefan Stern Published: February 13 2007
The UK's Employee Ownership Association is promoting what it calls the
"CoCo" company: co-owned and, almost as important, "co-created"
(more on that later).
The principle behind employee ownership of businesses is simple. It is to
"induce employees to think and act like owners, making decisions that
increase corporate value" in the words of Wharton's Martin Conyon and
Harvard's Richard Freeman.
How startling an idea is that in reality? Top executives have been enjoying
the benefits of share options for many years. The theory is that these
share options help align managers' interests with those of existing
shareholders. Well, as an employee, you could not be any more aligned if
you were also a shareholder yourself.
Employee ownership is already more widespread and more successful
than you might imagine. The National Center for Employee Ownership in
the US has more than 3,000 corporate members. Perhaps its best known
is the technology company Science Applications International
Corporation. SAIC was founded by Robert Beyster in 1969 and is now a
44,000-employee business with sales of about $7.8bn.
Looking at the performance of US businesses that have employee stock
ownership plans reveals a similar story. But, crucially, as Richard Reeves,
author of the new paper on CoCo companies, points out, the businesses
that do best "are those which also have robust forms of consultation and
employee involvement". In other words, "the greatest benefits seem to
flow when co-ownership is combined with real opportunities for
co-creation"; hence the name CoCo.
What are the characteristics of a CoCo enterprise? Supporters say levels
of engagement (or "organisational citizenship") among employees are
higher. Staff show more initiative. Information and ideas spread more
quickly, which is good for innovation and creativity.
Reeves is quite evangelical on the subject. CoCo companies are, he says,
"vehicles for meeting the productivity challenge but also for generating
happiness . . . a wellbeing creator as well as a wealth creator".
Britain's best-known employee- owned business is the highly successful
John Lewis Partnership (65,000 staff, sales up 11 per cent at £6bn and
profits up 25 per cent). It has just opened a branch of its attractive
supermarket chain, Waitrose, in Balham, south London - where I lived
happily for many years before being expelled in the economic process
known as gentrification.

林政毅、楊迪華飛西雅圖尋夢
一位是研發經理,一位是業務經理,但他們優異的表現都引起總部注意,最後並直接調
派西雅圖總部,負責更大區域的業務。
負責線上付費系統的程式規畫經理林政毅,五十八年次,東吳資訊科學研究所畢業,
微軟是他第三個工作,做付費系統研發規畫方面的工作,有五年資歷;由於相關研發工
作的主管和同事都在美國,林政毅經常與美國總部連絡。
微軟網路事業重要性日增,線上付費機制必須推廣到更多的國家,包括中國、巴西、
波蘭、希臘等,總部因此詢問林政毅調職的意願。「人家敢要我,我為什麼不敢去?」
天生樂觀進取的林政毅,與老婆商量之後,心一橫,帶著一歲多的女兒,去年九月全家
搬到西雅圖,開始他的美國職場生涯,還好老婆因生小孩中斷工作,全家的決定沒那麼
困難。
老美的工作方式,林政毅適應了一陣子才習慣。「在台灣,老闆會給你一些工作上的
指示,但在美國,卻是老闆要你提出你的工作方針。」他分析,老美老闆會拿出部門的
工作目標,問你要如何對這個目標做出貢獻,方式和台灣截然不同,但也同時訓練他自
主戰鬥的能力。
林政毅最挫折的一件事,是與同事的工作關係。他到美國之後,積極地想與大伙打成
一片,但發現同事們講的俚語笑話常常聽不懂,因此上網背了很多笑話,準備在各個場
合搬出來應付。「但他們都沒笑,我好挫折。」林政毅開始接受朋友的建議,放緩社交
腳步,不再那麼急。
微軟負責與合作夥伴溝通產品的業務發展經理楊迪華,去年十一月才到任,目前帶著
七歲的女兒在西雅圖,還在念博士的老公則在台灣帶三歲的女兒,全家且戰且走。
楊迪華才六十一年次,清大核工研究所畢業,曾在宏碁、德儀等公司工作,進微軟將
近五年。「在台灣時,只看到產品的最後成果,卻不知為什 麼。」楊迪華表示,總部找
她時,她著實考慮了一下,後來覺得如果能夠在產品成形之前加入,會更有成就感,在
老公支持下,她提著行李直奔西雅圖。
到美國最挫折的事,是食物不好吃,她很想念台灣到處都是的路邊攤和便利商店;最
快樂的事,則是買了一架鋼琴,有空就彈一彈,彈起鋼琴的快樂心情,在美國或台灣都
無差異。
楊迪華說,她現在還負責更多國家的業務,包括以色列、日本、南韓、中國,晚上
兩、三點開國際會議是家常便飯。「微軟吸引我的,是影響力,很少有公司有這樣的影
響力。」她表示。
