HumanFirst™ Initiative: humanising the workplace
The old ways of working, are no longer working
It's time to ditch toxic cultures & ineffective workplace practises that devalue our energy & output and rebuild organisations to be purposeful, socially responsible and above all, human.
The HumanFirst™ Initiative offers a range of training, consulting and strategic support programs that help organisations adapt to the changing work landscape and integrate a more human approach to work.
We are part of a new wave of change shaking up the way organisations have traditionally been led & managed. Our speciality is providing fresh insight to address old, systemic problems, and shifting the lens through which you view your business.
Enact positive, lasting change
Deep support and personalised guidance and insights for your organisation
Opportunity to become certified and publicy recognised as a leading HumanFirst™ organisation
Impact driven training on purpose, social responsibility and human values
Strategic plans & action models for embedding and operationalising change
Why now?
Since the world was shaken up in 2020, the way we work has shifted. Traditional frameworks are crumbling and are no longer conducive to productivity, growth and ultimately profit & success. Organisations need fresh thinking and a new approach to old problems.
In the words of Jack Welch (Chairman of General Electric) "Change, before you have to".
IMPACT OF COVID
Widespread fear and uncertainty sparked a cultural/values shift toward seeking more meaning + purpose at work, while new remote/virtual/hybrid working models impacted the way we operate
TECH FATIGUE
Increased reliance on technology and remote/virtual working requires us to re-assess the role of tech at work to ensure it supports rather than dominates us
PRESSURE ON LEADERSHIP
Drive to achieve targets while adapting to a new landscape - the pressure is on management to address employee needs while efficiently managing workflow
