STORY HIGHLIGHTS
This is the third of a three-part series of articles on “The Path to Becoming a People-Centric Organisation.” Read the first and second articles.
Only people-centric organisations will survive and thrive in the new world of work. In our previous article, we introduced the People Centricity Framework©, describing six levers organisations must consider holistically to become people-centric. This article is our manifesto, highlighting eight mandates for people-centric leaders to thrive in the new world of work.
Mandate #1 — We will stay true to our purpose, mission, and values
We will deliver fulfilling work experiences aligned with our organisation’s purpose, mission, and values.
Mandate #2 — We will listen to what our people think
We will understand what our people expect from their work experience to get actionable insights into our People Expectations strategy.
Mandate #3 — We will listen to how our people feel
We will understand how our people experience working with our organisation to get actionable insights into our People Experience strategy.
Mandate #4 — We will listen to how our people do
We will understand how our people enjoy fulfillment from their work experience to get actionable insights into our People Success strategy.
Mandate #5 — We will architect future-fit work value propositions
We will architect a work value proposition that attracts new talent and reengages existing ones. If we are successful, we will attract, engage, and keep a future-fit workforce.
Mandate #6 — We will architect future-fit leaders
We will architect a culture where our leaders inspire our talent, community, and society. If we are successful, we will build a future-fit leadership.
Mandate #7 — We will architect future-fit work experiences
We will architect a work experience that fulfills our talent and enable them to succeed in the new world of work. If we are successful, we build a future-fit work experience.
Mandate #8 — We will walk the talk
We will deliver against our promises to our workforce, our stakeholders, and our society.
While the world does not need another article on the over-discussed “Great Resignation”, I cannot resist throwing in an additional perspective. I will do my best to enlighten your summer readings with our next series, “Myth & Truth about the Great Resignation”.
