Why Positive Work Culture and Human Sustainability Matter in Today's Workplace
How people are treated in the workplace has been a topic of interest for decades (maybe even longer). Why then is it necessary to once again share the need for having a positive work culture, for treating workers like humans, and for building strong and lasting business relationships?

Because we don’t do a very good job!

Deloitte collaborated with research firm Workplace Intelligence to survey 3,150 individuals (ranging from C-suite executives to managers to non-management workers) with the intent to obtain information about workplace and human challenges.

Their findings:

Organizations should refocus around the idea of human sustainability: the degree to which an organization creates value for people as human beings, leaving them with greater health and well-being, stronger skills and greater employability, good jobs, opportunities for advancement, progress toward equity, increased belonging, and heightened connection to purpose

It’s not about extracting the value and skills each person provides, rather it’s about how we as leaders can help our teams and team members thrive. What are we doing for them?

More interesting findings:

1.    82% of the executives surveyed say a stronger commitment to prioritizing a positive human impact would increase their company’s ability to attract new talent

2.    81% said the “human impact” would appeal to customers and clients

3.    81% said it would increase profitability

4.    Only 43% of workers say their organizations have left them better off than when they were hired

5.    Only 56% of workers feel their overall well-being is “excellent” or “good”

6.    59% of workers, 66% of managers, and 71% of the C-suite would consider taking a job with another company that supported their well being

Leadership seems to understand the need for the human factor (items 1-3), and based on what was reported (items 4-6), we certainly have opportunities!

How are you addressing the human factor, and what are you doing to help individuals and teams thrive?  Let us know!

Sincerely,

Mike and Jan

Humans feel. They (want to) feel like they belong, they (want to) feel recognized and appreciated, they (want to) feel purpose, they (want to) feel trust, they (want to) feel safe.
