Heard On The Street

Zaha Hadid Architects, a 500-person firm based in London that was founded by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, had become a fully employee-owned company. It sounds very appealing, but all we know for certain is that there's now an employee benefit trust, which means the company's assets are collectively owned by the employees. What we don't know is how this will impact decision-making, working conditions, benefits, and more. Stay curious.
