How Zappos determines salaries in Holacracy - Business Insider - 0 views

  • There are also badges that are not tied to roles that result in a raise, such as the Teal 101 badge, which employees can earn after reading management guru Frederic Laloux's book, "Reinventing Organizations," and writing one to three paragraphs demonstrating their understanding, the Las Vegas Sun reports.
  • Badges also exist for non-monetary roles like proficiency in talking about Teal companies (what Zappos aspires to be) and teaching yoga. Jewett says these reinforce Hsieh's Core Value No. 3 to "create fun and a little weirdness," and self-expression has always been at the heart of Zappos.

    ""At this time, compensation is tied to roles, and the badges encompass the work or skills being done in those roles," says Lisa Jewett, who has the role of "@Badge_Librarian" and is leading how compensation works in the Zappos Holacracy. "However, we are currently in the process of building a more robust badging system that will allow people to build their salary based on the avenues they would like to pursue." Essentially, that means that the pursuit of badges may eventually resemble a "leveling up" process from video games, where the acquiring of a new badge automatically equals a bigger paycheck. As of now, employees looking for a raise submit an application to Zappos' Compensation Circle, a group of employees responsible for approving salaries. "

Why On-Demand Shipping Service Shyp Is Turning Its Couriers Into Employees | Fast Compa... - 0 views

  • Shyp involves multiple layers of complexity—once it picks up an item, it takes it to a warehouse, packs it up, then hands it off to a major courier such as UPS for delivery—but it's the couriers who define the face-to-face experience for customers. "Our service has so many touch points—showing up at your home and shipping anything anywhere in the world," says CEO and cofounder Kevin Gibbon. "It could be really expensive, like a painting or something like that. We felt that given how complicated the actual job is, the best course is to transition these folks."
  • Still, by moving away from the contractor model, the company gains the ability to exert more control over the Shyp experience without fear of legal repercussions. It can get more involved in training and coaching couriers, managing the hours they work, and generally treating them like full-blown team members rather than freelancers. It will also begin to pay workers' compensation, unemployment, and Social Security taxes for couriers. They'll continue to use their own vehicles, but Shyp will cover costs such as fuel.
  • Aren't employees more expensive than contractors? Sure, which is one big reason why on-demand startups have shied away from hiring them. But Gibbon says that Shyp's satellite drivers and warehouse workers are already employees, so hiring couriers isn't a dramatic departure. And its profit margins are such that there's room for the extra cost. "We felt that with everything we can bring operationally, it'll be a net positive," he told me. "If someone has a better experience, they're much more likely to tell someone else about it."

    "But that's about to change. Shyp is shifting from signing up couriers as contractors to hiring them as staffers, with the closer ties and legal obligations that such a relationship carries. The new approach will start in the next city Shyp enters: Chicago, where it plans to be up and running this summer. Couriers in the company's current markets-Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and San Francisco-will transition from contractor status to employees on January 1, 2016."

    "Avez-vous remarqué combien il peut être difficile de trouver des entrepreneurs célèbres étant diplômés? D´autre part, dans certains domaines tels que Webdesign ou la programmation, les nouvelles technologies évoluent si vite que les étudiants peuvent ressortir des salles de cours avec des connaissances déjà obsolètes. Malheureusement, même à l´heure d'internet et du partage de connaissances, il est encore difficile d´imaginer toute une génération d'autodidactes. Bonne nouvelle, le coworking pourrait être l'une des solutions. Il attire de plus en plus d'étudiants et pourrait bien être l'espace privilégié d'une nouvelle éducation pour les entrepreneurs de demain. En fait, certains voient même le coworking remplacer des universités désormais dites dépassées."
