Let’s make organizations more about the people


As a leader, the best thing that can be done for a particular organization is to invest in its people. As more and more companies are rethinking their structures and putting an emphasis on people rather than profits, this concept of human-centric operations is no longer viewed as radical.
Customers are no longer satisfied with business as usual. They want and expect more from the brands that they frequent. Very in vogue these days is the conscious consumer. He or she expects that the companies and brands that they give their hard-earned money to are responsible and ethical.
A consulting firm called Luminary Labs has coined the term “human company design,” which I think is very appropriate terminology for the methods that all businesses should adopt moving forward. Human company design refers to emphasizing focusing on people, which includes, employees and their families, communities, leaders and the community at large.
It is a holistic approach to doing business that recognizes that people – human beings – are the core of any organization. This does not mean that profits lessen. On the contrary, because while conscious capitalism makes social sense, it also makes economic sense.“To be abundantly clear, Human Company Design is not about warm fuzzies. It’s about a new business imperative that makes for stronger, more sustainable businesses. It’s about the development of an inclusive talent pool. It’s about a smarter, more efficient way to do business. It’s about the choices you, the founder or CEO make, as well as the choices your investors make when placing a bet. Foosball or healthcare coverage? It’s just a decision. But a decision that will dictate who wants to work for you, your company, and your industry — in the long run,” Luminary Labs states.
This human-centric approach attracts more conscious customers as well as employees who want to do meaningful work. These days, turnover rates at companies are alarming and is largely due to their unhappiness with the company’s culture.
By shifting to a more human-focused approach organizations can attract more customers and top talent in order to ensure future strength and success.
