If you're a Chief Human Resources or Chief People Officer, then you can request to join a brand new community I put together called Future Of Work Leaders which focuses on the future of work and employee experience. Join leaders from Tractor Supply, Johnson & Johnson, Lego, Dow, Northrop Grumman and many others. We come together virtually each month and once a year in-person to tackle big themes that go beyond traditional HR.
Think technology is the most critical part of your company? Think again!
Every company can exist without technology, but no company can exist without people.
Your people, not your software or devices, are the most valuable asset of your company. But focusing on people and building a supportive and people-centric environment can be difficult, especially as new technology pulls our attention away.
Here are five challenges to humanizing your organization:
Leading diverse teams
Not everyone looks and thinks the same way--your organization should reflect that. Diverse teams bring in new perspectives and highlight different ideas and preferences.
Attracting and retaining top talent
Instead of prospects trying to convince organizations they are the best choice, leaders and organizations must now convince candidates why they should work there.
Reskilling and upskilling employees
How we work is changing rapidly, and many employees don’t have the right skills to do their jobs or thrive in the new world of work. Leaders and companies need to help their employees pivot and develop.
Focusing on doing good
People want to be part of an organization that cares about more than just making money. Leaders need to look beyond dollars and cents and take a stand to do good in their communities.
Making the organization human
With automation and a focus on efficiency, many organizations fall into the trap of focusing on results instead of people. Humans come first!
No matter what, people should always be central to your organization. Your employees are what sets your organization apart and what makes it successful. Technology is important, but don’t forget to humanize your company.

2 周I love this post thank you.. I am one of the advocates. It has always been about people. Technology is one thing, innovation should be driven by motivated and visionary people to be successfully useful or it will be just another cold shell or structure without meaning....
