Turnover is just 3%, thanks to the manufacturer’s lattice org structure, made of “associates” who can move between teams that have “leaders” and who aren’t assigned responsibilities but set their own work commitments. “If I feel I need to bring an idea or concern directly to our CEO, I can, with no pushback,” says one associate. The medical-device and Gore-Tex maker pairs each associate with a sponsor, for support and development.
