The Human-Centered Workplace: Building Organizational Cultures That Thrive

Today, as major shifts such as new artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and widespread movement toward hybrid work arrangements alter how work gets done, many once-thriving companies find themselves struggling. Organizations that prevail or even capitalize on periods of disruption often share one distinguishing characteristic: They are built to evolve.

Successful organizations implement practices that enable them to reach their goals now and operate with the agility to adopt new practices that will sustain their success. In the modern workplace, this means putting people first.

This report shares the latest Gallup and Workhuman research on four essential practices that enable organizations to put their people at the center of their success: strategic recognition, meaningful feedback, support for wellbeing and upskilling. When implemented with intention and strategy, each of these approaches has the potential to uplift workforces and transform organizations -- however, they are all drastically underutilized and unrefined in most organizations.

Explore the vast potential of these practices and uncover the gaps in their adoption and successful implementation.
