Make It Human A vision for happier, healthier, more human workplaces
Many people today feel drained and unfulfilled by their work. Workplace cultures are cracking and some have suffered catastrophic failures. Despite huge advances in technology, companies are struggling to find a way to improve engagement, sustain productivity and deliver business results. Feelings of loneliness, fear and exhaustion are flooding organisations, leaving individuals searching for something more meaningful – somewhere they can feel valued and able to flourish as humans.
Drawing on her experience as a work psychologist and leader, Sarah McLellan outlines a vision for a human-led future of work, where businesses and people can thrive. Make It Human includes practical models, new insights and real-life stories, illustrating how we can nurture workplace cultures to invigorate human growth – both for us and for generations to come.
Work doesn’t have to be a nine-to-five, meaningless, lonely grind. Together, we can make it human.
