Publisher's Synopsis
This book will disrupt how you think about creating your best work life and workplace and give you a no-B.S. road map to get you there.
What you've been taught about how to find health and happiness at work is inaccurate. Yep, it's wrong. If you are fed up with the overwhelming and conflicting noise around how to create a fulfilling professional life or be a leader people actually want to work for, this book will help you cut through the clutter once and for all.
Through years of research and truth-finding, Kelly Mackin and her company, Motives Met, have discovered a completely new mindset and approach around what well-being at work is all about, how to get there, and why it's so important that we do get there.
This book is a transformative personal guide; but it's also a call to action for a fundamental shift in our approach to work-a manifesto for a human-centered work world. The heart of humanizing work is honoring that we are human beings at work with human needs, and these needs-what Mackin refers to as motives-should be healthy and, ideally, thriving. Ill-being still drastically overshadows well-being at work, but using Mackin's proven framework and 5-step pathway we can change that.
You will become empowered to
- elevate happiness, mental health, and well-being for yourself, the people you work with, and those you lead;
- learn to be mindful of, evaluate, and communicate motives, to ultimately meet them;
- create a people-first culture where employees thrive and business thrives;
- overcome well-being obstacles by eliminating the "dream killers" that threaten a human way of working;
- ditch surface-level connection and friction for more meaningful work relationships with psychological safety and trust.
And so much more!
