At a time when work plays a central role in people's lives, France is characterized by poor performance in terms of teamwork, employee autonomy and the ability to take part in decision-making. Yet there's nothing to stop companies, public services or associations from considering the opinions of those who work there. Some experiments show that a company is more efficient and resilient when it knows how to listen to its employees. How can we involve those who work in decision-making? How can workplace democracy improve well-being and employee commitment? Should work be democratized? What are the possible ways of achieving this goal?

To answer these questions, this round table will bring together a senior civil servant in charge of improving working conditions, a political scientist specializing in the world of work and its changes, and an entrepreneur at the head of a cooperative company that has democratized its modes of governance.
