More Choice: When; Where; How to Work

Better Work-Life Integration; Well-Being

HumanCentric Workplace services begin with the individual and the integration of work-life into a healthy balance. The workplace of choice will vary from individuals--those who choose to work in an office and those who prefer to work remotely. To avoid disengaging or losing talent, organizations must adapt processes and management to address talent needs.

As employees return to the office, how often should they and why?

The strategy is to get it right and keep it right.

HumanCentric Innovation services offer a lean continuous improvement process that is simple to implement for individuals and across teams. We provide a framework that encourages anyone at any level to propose and lead innovation that improves the individual, the greater team, as well as clients and customers. Adaptation minimizes stress.

Agile problem solving begins with discovering the diverse needs of clients.

Leaders can serve those needs by encouraging leadership and fostering innovation.

Replace organizational stress with pervasive leadership

 

We typically start by asking leaders, “Where are you and your organization feeling the most stress? What are the sources of stress? Why do they persist? Are you willing to change the way you manage?”

HumanCentric Labs offers a different kind of transformation process designed to reduce and replace stress by increasing adaptability across the workforce. We empower individuals and teams to own work and improve value.

This approach promotes leaders at all levels—an invitation to identify and address change. The result is a lean organization with broad and deep leadership that relies on the entire organization to challenge and improve itself.
