Making work absolutely human

Step 1: Mindset

There is nothing more important in making work absolutely human than the mindset with which we approach each other every day. There are a thousand fancy ways to describe it, and we’re asked about it all the time, but we think there are three little elements to being human at work.

Are you a Decent Human?
