Stress and challenges are a natural part of life that affects who we are, how we show up and how we navigate the world. Integrating humanistic principles into an organization means operating from a place of understanding stress and adversity while also recognizing the adverse effects it can have within organizations and the communities we work within. As a business professional, understanding people and the challenges they face helps you better navigate the impacts it has on them and the workforce. This knowledge and tools help you approach organizational processes from a humanistic lens, mitigating the harm perpetuated by a misunderstanding of human behaviour. It means creating a safe and supportive work environment for all to thrive.

What is a humanized approach to business?

Humanizing our approach to business is, at its core, a people’s liberation movement.  Many of us have worked in organizations where we’ve either witnessed or been involved in some pretty unsavoury behaviour in the name of “good business sense”.  When we humanize, we add context, we consider information that may be outside our usual channels and seek to build community that may extend far beyond the edge of our organizational boundaries.

 

Humanizing business brings together a set of practices which currently sit largely on the periphery for most executives - mindfulness, trauma-informed facilitation, holistic thinking and embodied knowing.  We utilize tools and techniques that are congruent with these practices and designed to dismantle static, centralized power structures in favour of collaboration and responsiveness.  We shift from reductionist, binary thinking into a spectrum of possibilities utilizing complexity theory for change-making.  Our businesses are human-centred, customer-led and purposeful.
