Inhaltsangabe

How do you keep your employees engaged, creative, innovative, and productive? Simple: Work human!

From the pioneers of the management strategy that’s transforming businesses worldwide, Making Work Human shows how to implement a culture of performance and gratitude in the workplace—and seize a competitive edge, increase profitability, and drive business momentum.

Leaders of Workhuman, the world’s fastest-growing social recognition and continuous performance management platform, Eric Mosley and Derek Irvine use game-changing data analytics to prove that when a workplace becomes more “human”—when it’s fueled by a culture of gratitude—measurable business results follow. In Making Work Human, they show you how to:

• Apply analytics and artificial intelligence in ways that make work more human, not less
• Expand equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives and strategies to include a wider range of backgrounds, life experiences, and capabilities as a step to end systemic social and racial injustice 
• Use recognition as an actionable strategy to create a more socially connected, inclusive culture--especially critical during a global pandemic when employees are working remotely 

“The qualities that make us most human—connection, community, positivity, belonging, and a sense of meaning—have become the corporate fuel for getting things done—for innovating, for thriving in the global marketplace, and for outperforming the competition,” the authors write.

By building a sense of belonging, purpose, meaning, happiness, and energy in every employee, you’ll create a profound connection between your organization and its goals. And Making Work Human provides everything you need to get there.

"I’ve long thought we can make work better by making work about people. The Work human Charter of Workplace Rights champions that notion by challenging workplaces to become more responsive to human needs, but it goes beyond that. This charter isn’t about helping people work better for the benefit of business; this charter is about helping people be better. For the benefit of society. Smart organizations know business performance will follow; if you do the right things, the right things will happen. But truly great organizations understand we exist for more. We have the power to change the world, and we can start by changing work."
--Jason Averbook, CEO and co-founder of Leapgen
