<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book highlights how successful companies are thriving by putting people first. It details five key principles essential for rehumanizing workplaces; a framework to help restore hope, well-being, and performance; and tangible actions anyone can take to show up as a leader and influence positive change.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>Imagine a world where everyone can come to work as their authentically human, best selves. They feel fulfilled, supported, and cared for and 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.</em></strong></p><p>This vision is possible. And it is desperately needed!</p><p>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 humanity crisis on our hands!</p><p>The good news is that there is a revolution already underway where organizations are breaking the mold and finding success by honoring what it means to be human and putting people first. In fact, research continues to emerge showing that human-centered organizations significantly outperform those operating from a "business-as-usual" approach. And the really good news is that this shift to rehumanize workplaces doesn't have to start with the C-suite--really! It helps but is not a deal-breaker. Culture ultimately resides at the local team level; and you can transform workplaces by focusing on one team at a time.</p><p>This book highlights how successful companies are thriving by putting people first.

Let this book guide you in building a team or company through which people have the opportunity to become their best selves!<br /> <strong>Bob Chapman</strong>, author of <em>Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family</em> and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller</p><p>Imagine a world in which you walk into work and feel safe. Imagine using words like <em>compassion</em>, <em>purpose</em>, and <em>belonging</em> to describe your culture. Imagine a workplace where you deeply trust the people around you.<em>Rehumanizing the Workplace</em> 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.<br /> <strong>Kristen Hadeed</strong>, founder of Student Maid and author of <em>Permission to Screw Up</em></p><p><em>Rehumanizing the Workplace</em> 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.<br /> <strong>Bob Anderson</strong>, chairman of The Leadership Circle and coauthor of <em>Mastering Leadership</em> and <em>Scaling Leadership</em></p><p><em>Rehumanizing the Workplace</em> 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!<br /> <strong>Amy C. Edmondson</strong>, professor at Harvard Business School and author of <em>The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth</em></p><p>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. <em>Rehumanizing the Workplace</em> 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.<br /> <strong>Wendy Lynch</strong>, PhD, cofounder of <em>The Heart of Human Capital</em> blog and coauthor of <em>Get to What Matters: Tools to Transform Conversations at Work</em></p><p>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.<em> Rehumanizing the Workplace</em> 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.<br /> <strong>Arthur Woods</strong>, cofounder of Mathison</p><br>
