The Human-Centered Workplace: Building Organizational Cultures That Thrive

The world of work has been upended in recent years, driven by the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Great Resignation, quiet quitting, and return to office mandates. And the impact has been alarming – Gallup research shows only 33% of employees in the U.S. and 23% of employees globally are engaged. What’s more, multiple reports have found positive daily experiences for employees are near historic lows.

So, the question becomes: What can companies do to proactively address the problem, building engaged, adaptable, and resilient workplace cultures that thrive over both the near and long term?

In Workhuman and Gallup’s latest research, the path forward is clear. Companies need to answer the call to build flexible working arrangements, frequent and constructive interactions between managers and their direct reports, a psychologically safe space for voicing concerns and asking for support, and timely, authentic, and fulfilling acknowledgement of employees’ efforts. This is called employee recognition done right.

In this report, you’ll learn about:

  • New evidence of recognition’s long-term impact on retention
  • Elevating cultures of feedback through recognition
  • Using recognition to uplift wellbeing and daily emotions
  • Promoting upskilling to harness the power of advancing technology like AI
