Happiness at Work

For years, companies around the world have been embracing "people-first" philosophies: the simple idea that happier employees drive better results. Lately, however, that idea is becoming more complicated.

How can companies continue to put their people first, even while embracing artificial intelligence? How will AI impact workplace philosophies - and workplace culture - in the uncertain years ahead?

We sit down with Rich Fernandez, a pyschologist, emotional intelligence expert, former member of Google's people team, and current CEO of SIY Global. We discuss the ongoing AI revolution, and how companies can maintain a people-first workplace, no matter what the future brings.

Happiness means different things to each of us. After doing extensive research, Management 3.0 founder Jurgen Appelo discovered a common thread: Happiness is something we create. It is not something to achieve. It is a path you choose, not a destination to arrive at.

So many of us spend our lives in pursuit of happiness. Instead of searching for it, we need to find ways to live it, embrace it, and implement it into our daily lives. That's why we created the 12 Steps to Happiness at Management 3.0.

What do we really mean, when we talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion? Are they just corporate buzzwords? Are they opportunities for investment? Are they philosophies for recruitment or human resources? Or are they strategies for building happier, more welcoming, and more productive workplaces?

What happens when people-first policies run up against the demands of a profit-centered world?

Is it unrealistic to believe that companies can value culture as highly as they value sales? Or is it fantasy?

Today we sit down with Catrin Lewis, a renowned author and workforce expert who has embraced that very idea. We discuss her work, her views on workplace culture, and her acclaimed books about unicorns, vultures, and the very real power of employee engagement.

*Some companies call them "Hero Awards." Others call them "Hugs." We call them Kudos. It is a written and public recognition of a colleague for something they have contributed to the team.

A Kudo is not just given from the top down, but peer-to-peer and bottom-up, across departments and organizations. Anyone can recognize someone else's work. It's a way to break down hierarchical limitations and to encourage everyone to offer instant positive feedback.
