51 Video: Patagonia Michael Crooke, CEO, explains that employees at Patagonia are treated in a very different fashion than traditional firms. How are employees “evaluated” at Patagonia? Discussion Questions: How do Patagonia’s HR practices effect innovation at the company? Answer: The selection of employees is carefully orchestrated to hire only those individuals with passion. Further, employees’ values are more often than not aligned with those of the corporation. The progressive policies and practices encourage, foster, and reinforce innovative practices. Is there evidence of training and development at Patagonia? Answer: While one does not “see” training and development in the video, one can reasonably conclude, based on the various practices of the company that training and development is built into their model. While it may not be of the traditional type, the internship, for example, provides training and development opportunities for employees in areas that are consistent with the company’s core values and philosophy. . How are employees “evaluated” at Patagonia? Answer: The elements of passion and direct involvement with the products that employees are involved with appear to be the fundamental basis upon which they are evaluated. One other area appears to be that of participating in socially conscious and grass root activist organizations that further the aims of social responsibility. While these are not directly related to the operations of the firm, they are the metrics by which Patagonia assesses employee contributions.
