Leading organizations are embracing "The Human-Powered Enterprise" model to empower employees to produce their finest work !

💡Six pillars distinguish "human enterprises" from other organizations.

📣 As the urgency to "return to work" and the fascination with AI increase, organizations are reevaluating their employee-focused strategies developed during the pandemic with a new trend called "Human-Powered Enterprise".

🔥 Instead of merely facilitating recovery, these human enterprises integrate wellness directly into the workplace to enhance employee well-being and to boost the proportion of employees who consistently perform at their peak in a sustainable manner.

❤️ Leaders within a human enterprise demonstrate empathy towards employees who are adapting to changes. They concentrate on the tasks at hand instead of the jobs that may become obsolete. They assist employees in harnessing creativity to utilize AI and other technologies to enhance their performance and influence, according to a new interesting research published by Gartner using data 📊 from internal Gartner clients.

✅What is Human-powered enterprise?

Gartner researchers have defined the Human-powered enterprise as organizations that incorporate six key pillars, which will be discussed in the following chapter, and are intentionally designed to empower employees to deliver their best work.

✅The 6 key pillars of Human-powered enterprises

Researchers listed below the six pillars that differentiate “human enterprises” from other organizations:

1️⃣ "Why" we work: a human deal with Employee Value Proposition (EVP)

2️⃣ "How" we work: Workforce Wellbeing

3️⃣ "Who" we work with: Integrated diversity and belonging: DEI

4️⃣ "Who" we work for: Leadership

5️⃣ "Where" we work: a human-centric workplace

6️⃣ "What" supports our work: A human-AI partnership

✅Why we work: Reinvent the EVP for higher impact

Organizations aiming to evolve into human-centric enterprises shape their Employee Value Proposition (EVP) based on their employees' emotions, not merely features. Researchers refer to this approach as a "human deal."

📈 Those that provide a human deal tend to surpass their competitors in achieving business objectives, including revenue, profit, and customer satisfaction.

✅Workforce Well-being

Employees are facing challenges with their well-being, with only approximately one-third of those surveyed in recent years rating their well-being positively.

HR leaders are aware of this issue; however, they often misdiagnose the problem and apply ineffective solutions.

✅The "What" and "How" about DEI

Researchers noticed that within human enterprises, leaders acknowledge the centrality of DEI to the health of the organization.

They understand that merely adding DEI initiatives is not enough; it must be integrated throughout the organization for scalable and lasting outcomes. Employees who perceive their organization as diverse and fostering a sense of belonging are significantly more likely to be engaged and high-performing.

✅Develop Human Leadership

Researchers have observed that for the development of human leadership, HR departments need to assist leaders in overcoming their challenges with commitment to human-centric leadership.

This includes aiding them in building confidence and the courage to show vulnerability, taking decisive steps, and increasing their capacity for human leadership to handle burnout. Doing so moves organizations towards becoming more human-centered enterprises, which ultimately enhances retention, engagement, and the well-being of employees.

✅A Human-centric workplace

Researchers have shown that businesses are acknowledging the importance of the workplace's physical location in providing the necessary conditions for employees to perform optimally, be it in an office or from home.

Human Resources can contribute to creating a more human-focused work environment by ensuring employees have autonomy, the means, and a sense of connection in their workspaces, which can lead to increased productivity, efficiency, and higher employee engagement levels.
