Two years ago, hybrid work was widely uncommon, a sparse benefit. Now, in many industries, it's the predominant way of working. Two years ago, stress and burnout were well-kept secrets within office walls. Now, reducing that stress is (or at least should be) a primary objective for just about every HR team out there. The workplace is almost unrecognizable compared to early 2020. But two years into COVID, trends and challenges are crystallizing to present a clear picture of the state of the workplace now and where it is headed. It is a workplace with one foot in the future of work and the other held in place by the complexities of the Great Resignation and the continued need to reduce stress and increase equity in the workplace. On this episode of How We Work, Dr. Meisha-ann Martin, senior director of people analytics and research at Workhuman®, and Dr. Isha Vicaria, a social psychologist and researcher on the Workhuman® iQ team, break down our most recent survey report Two Years into COVID: The State of the Human Workplace.

An introduction to Jerry and how Scott first encountered his work. Jerry provides some background on his 30-year human resources career – from the 1980s, when he first joined the Institute of People Management as a member to taking on his current executive role in 2017. Jerry reflects on the end of apartheid and subsequent social/workplace change. The significance of the question: What kind of colleague do you want to be? Values must be embedded in the hearts of people up and down the business. The message behind the Zulu phrase: “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu.” – I am because you are Pandemic drove home our interconnectedness as humans and within the workplace. We are all in the same boat, and need/desire to row together. Jerry shares his Five Pillars for creating humane workplaces: Be sociable. (Even, or especially, when working remotely.) Psychological safety. (Without an atmosphere that is inclusive, trusting and open, employees will never be able to bring their A Game.) Have a sharing culture. (A give-and-take that promotes teamwork, leverages people’s strengths and creates a sense of abundance.) Have structures. (Boundaries ironically foster fluidity, offering individuals a container within which they can experiment, explore and create together.) Have spiritual connection/a sense of purpose. (Just as star athletes leave their hearts on the field, the most fulfilled workers go 100% each day.) Jerry’s defines his view of success and highlights the benefits that will accrue to those who cultivate a workplace (regardless sector) built upon his Five Pillars.

This week, David is joined by Renee Smith, the founder of A Human Workplace for a powerful discussion of her "joyful obligation" to reduce fear in the workplace and replace it with love. They dig into the reality that men have been taught and expected to use too few of their available resources, relying heavily on command, control and power to the exclusion of connection, empathy, vulnerability and curiosity. And that the most effective way to restore those tools to their necessary place in the toolbox is through relationship, one meaningful interaction at a time.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Renee Smith who opens our conversation with one of the most vulnerable personal stories of vulnerability shared on this podcast so far. Renee really does role-model the change she wants to see in the world, bringing the importance of love to the workplace, however, people wish to name or adopt that. We also discuss leadership, culture, vulnerability, courage and much more. Some key highlights include: - “We want to contribute; we want to matter. We want to be cared about ourselves. Of course love belongs at work and when we are in a condition when we feel love, we give and do and be our very best” – 09.20 - “You are a good investment. Invest in yourself. I was worthy of investing in” – 11.45 - “We need to be creating an environment where you stop, and we turn and we face someone to truly listen to them, and we look them in the eye and we turn away from our devices and our computer and we hear them.” – 36.10 - “Tell me a story about a time when you felt afraid at work and tell me a story about a time when you felt loved or any version of that at work?” – 38.00 Renee can be found via the following means: Email - renee@makeworkmorehuman.com Website - https://www.makeworkmorehuman.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/renee-smith-wa-state-lean/ Bio: As the Founder and CEO of A Human Workplace, Renée champions a more loving, humane, and safe workplace where everyone is welcome to bring their whole selves to work.

I am Kathy Klotz-Guest, founder of Keeping it Human. This show airs Thursdays at 3:30 PM PDT. Keeping it Human is about human speak, not marketing speak, that gets results. We focus on great tips and fun guests without the marketing BS.  If you're looking for jargon-monoxide poisoning, we recommend our competition. Every workplace must be 'human' Corporate structures of the early 20 century don't work today. While some workplaces are innovative; others stifle innovation and human ingenuity. Employees want meaningful work, they want to be respect, they want flexibility, and they want human workplaces. If employees aren't treated well, they can't take care of customers well. It is that simple. So what does it mean to be a human workplace and how do we get there? Join me and my guest, The awesome Liz Ryan, Nov 14th at 3:30PM PDT for a kick-ass conversation!
