Rehumanizing the Workplace: Future-Proofing Your Organization While Restoring Hope, Well-Being, and Performance

By Rosie Ward and Jon Robison

Publisher: Conscious Capitalism Press (March 24, 2020)

 

“In Rehumanizing the Workplace, Rosie, and Jon reinforce what every leader of today needs to

know: people thrive in environments where they feel cared for, safe to create and innovate, and part of an organization's shared purpose.

Let this book guide you in building a team or company through which

people have the opportunity to become their best selves!”

—Bob Chapman, author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller

 

Business-as-usual needs to shift to being more conscious and human. This pandemic has been a wake-up call illuminating how important it is to rehumanize our workplaces. It can be done. It needs to be done. Imagine a world where everyone can come to work as their authentically human, best selves. They feel fulfilled, supported, and cared for. They have meaningful, purposeful work. At the end of the workday, they are able to bring their best selves home, be fully present with their loved ones, tend to their well-being, and replenish their well. This vision is possible. And it is desperately needed!

Our rapidly changing world is becoming increasingly complex and disruptive. And while it brings many opportunities for innovation, it also triggers people to operate from a place of scarcity and self-protection, leading to disconnection and eroding well-being—on both the organizational and individual level. As a result, workplaces have become increasingly dehumanized and are now the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. We have a humanitarian crisis on our hands!

In Rehumanizing the Workplace, Rosie, and Jon reinforce what every leader of today needs to know: people thrive in environments where they feel cared for, safe to create and innovate, and part of an organization's shared purpose. Let this book guide you in building a team or company through which people have the opportunity to become their best selves!

  —Bob Chapman, author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller


Imagine a world in which you walk into work and feel safe. Imagine using words like compassion, purpose, and belonging to describe your culture. Imagine a workplace where you deeply trust the people around you. Rehumanizing the Workplace teaches us how to create this kind of world. It's practical, actionable, and timely, and it will hit you straight in your heart. If you want to learn how to transform a culture regardless of the position you hold, this is the book for you.

  —Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid and author of Permission to Screw Up


Rehumanizing the Workplace is a tour de force. It pulls extensively from the lineage of leadership and organizational research, thought, and practice leadership. It then distills all that into a very readable and practical guide for creating an organization fit for purpose in highly complex environments. It compellingly makes the case for a radically human workplace and for a more conscious approach to capitalism. If you want to create a workplace where people thrive, bring their best, and create amazing results, this book is well worth a read.

  —Bob Anderson, chairman of The Leadership Circle and coauthor of Mastering Leadership and Scaling Leadership


Rehumanizing the Workplace is an important and engaging guide to building workplaces that work in the modern world. Its five rehumanizing principles are compelling and actionable. Managers, consultants, and anyone else who wants to help organizations thrive should read this book immediately!

  —Amy C. Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth


Admit it. You've questioned (silently) whether a truly human workplace can be successful in the marketplace. Can kindness and capitalism coexist? Does purpose elevate profit? Can an entire organization of individuals--no bosses, no hierarchy--self-manage themselves into excellence? The answer: yes, yes, and yes. Rehumanizing the Workplace gives example after example of companies generating exceptional performance by prioritizing respect, trust, and meaning. Rich with ideas, richer with practical steps, it's a worthwhile read. But beware, you might run out of reasons to avoid bringing more humanity into your own business.

  —Wendy Lynch, Ph.D., co-founder of The Heart of Human Capital blog and coauthor of Get to What Matters: Tools to Transform Conversations at Work


We know that work plays an increasingly vital role in our lives at the same time that the vast majority of people are unfulfilled and removed from their full potential at work. We are in need of new disruptive models that challenge our conventional thinking and instill a sense of humanity at work. Rehumanizing the Workplace is just that--a powerful blend of research, inspiration, and actionable steps for the changes our workforce needs. In their book, Rosie and Jon leave us without an excuse to make measurable progress in the movement to humanize work.

  —Arthur Woods, co-founder of Mathison

About Rosie Ward

I began my career in 1994 in the fitness industry as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer (Zumba is still one of my favorite forms of exercise!). I earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and my master’s degree in Public Health, with a focus, was on worksite health promotion. I became disheartened when I realized the way we approached supporting employee wellness didn't really work and knew I needed to find a better path.

After personally experiencing the ill-effects of a toxic work environment, I was inspired to shift gears and completed my Ph.D. in Organization and Management where I focused on organizational culture, leadership, and coaching.

I started to see how incredibly interconnected our own health and wellbeing are with the organizations where we work. After holding various leadership and consulting roles, I co-founded Salveo Partners, LLC, a consulting and professional development firm dedicated to rehumanizing workplaces so organizations and their people can thrive. Get in touch with Rosie @ her Website:  https://drrosieward.com/ and get social with her on LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
