Technology may take over menial tasks, but that’s opening up even more opportunities for companies to leverage the previously untapped creativity and innovation of people – to prioritize humanity and emotional intelligence at work.

Humans are at the heart of the future of work. For humans to thrive, companies need to double down on performance management processes that enhance trust, appreciation, respect, gratitude, autonomy, and equity.

Each year, Workhuman® surveys thousands of full-time workers across the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom to learn about the emotional connections binding them to their teams, their managers, and their employers. Across industries and geographies, these insights can be used to improve performance and development for humans in the future of work, with the goal of creating work cultures that are mutually beneficial to businesses and the people driving them.
