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! *EXCLUSIVE HUMAN NEEDS ASSESSMENT CODE* Are your motives met?
