"The principles set out in The Human Workplace are helpful for any
company that emphasizes purpose and identity, connection with the
company, each other and the community, as well as co-creation and
two-way dialogue with employees. This is a helpful guide on how to
grow by design."
*Mark Levy, Airbnb's first Head of Employee Experience*
"Andy Swann knows better than most that things just aren't that
straightforward. Bringing his work at the coalface of
organizational change with him, he leads us through the challenges,
debunks the fads and offers practical and effective ways of not
only coping with the challenges of the future but possibly even
enjoying them."
*Euan Semple, Author, Speaker and Business Strategist*
"This book is pragmatic, relevant, current - it should be required
reading for all leaders claiming "People are the most important
thing to me" and selectively pointing at other companies saying "I
want that one" without understanding the elements, i.e,
people."
*Andy Meikle, former Chief People Officer, JustGiving and Founder,
Folk Consulting*
"The Human Workplace offers a thoughtful and incisive examination
of our complicated relationship with our work, its meaning and our
attitudes. In this comprehensively researched book, Andy Swann
considers the full scope of how we work, from the interpersonal to
the networks and communities on which we rely, and how this is
translating into today's society. In an age of digitization and
artificial intelligence, Swann repeatedly finds that applying our
shared humanity is the most important element of a high-performing
workplace. From case studies to personal reflections, he explores
engaging workplace comparisons and finds ingenuity at work in work.
This book made me reconsider how we should shape the future of work
and appreciate that it will be those who are constantly learning in
our high-speed world that will deserve success for their teams and
a resilient future for their organizations."
*Tim Pointer, former HR Director, Dixons Carphone and Founder,
Starboard Thinking*
