The Future of Work is a Human Workplace

?? 3 initiatives in particular – Recognition, Check-ins, and Life events – quickly embed into an organization’s day-to-day and establish the cadence and connection needed for meaningful outcomes what researchers call the “Human Workplace", according to a new interesting #research published by Workhuman entitled "The Evolution of?Work" using #data from more than 4,100 full-time employees in US, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada.??

?? Researchers discovered that the first element of a human #workplace is a formal

1???Recognition program:

55% of employees in this report working at an organization that has one, and they and the company #benefit

The #human workplace centers on gratitude and communication. It prioritizes the psychological safety of employees and celebrates their achievements inside and outside of #work

It’s not an out-of-the-box solution to every negative in the #employeeexperience, but it steers everyone in the organization to lead with humanity.

?People are at their best when they feel comfortable being themselves.?

Researchers found that the presence of a #recognition program and thus a habitual sharing of appreciation positively affects how employees feel about their organization - they asked the respondents to describe their company culture in one word. Then, with the help of #NLP, they examined the words most often used by those with and without a recognition program.

2??Need for a Check-In:

Researchers found that a regular check-in is one of the best ways to know how employees are doing and what managers and the organization could be doing to give them any support they need.

?Relationship between Check-In and losing their job.

Employees who feel their #checkin with their #manager was time well spent are less likely to fear losing their #job

The employee-manager relationship is one of the most pivotal at work. At its best, this relationship prioritizes consistent conversations about what’s challenging, what’s motivating, and what’s stressing employees out. It’s also a powerful way to express support.

?? The more frequently employees check in with their managers, the more psychologically #safe they feel.

49% of the employees say they check in with their manager at least weekly. Of those respondents checking in at least weekly, 43% report being highly engaged, compared to 29% for those who don’t.

3?? More Life Events:

More than one-half of #people in this study (53%) say their organization celebrates what researchers call “life events,” an increase of 7% points compared to last year (46%).

?? Researchers noted that #employees across ways of working, countries, and?industries are looking for more ways to celebrate the meaningful moments in their lives.?

?? Researchers discovered was that the employee experience is at its best when it is tailored to the employee. That requires listening and understanding the circumstances of their lives. It means rewarding and recognizing employees for who they are and what they do. It’s celebrating and acknowledging them as?people
