Making Work Human: How Human-Centered Companies Are Changing the Future of Work and the World, Hardcover

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.
