What Does It Mean to Make Work “Human?”

TalentCulture

Make work human. This has been my professional purpose for over a decade now. I’m encouraged by all of the conversation recently about creating more human work experiences.

If we are to make real progress in this effort to humanize the workplace and ensure that it’s more than simply talk, we need to be clear on what we are trying to accomplish.

Fixing Work with the Relationship Test

Jason Lauritsen

I’ve been making the case now for a while that a primary reason that employee engagement remains so dismally low within so many organizations is that leaders (and HR) treat work as a contract instead of as a relationship.
