In this episode guest Rebecca Hawkins joins Dana to discuss the culture of the Regenerative Workplace. What is a Regenerative workplace you may ask? It is an organizational culture that recognizes and meets the core needs of their employees as human beings.
People have been studying human needs and how they translate to the workplace for a while now. You've probably heard of Maslow's needs hierarchy of needs or McGregor's theory X and theory Y. Maybe you are familiar with more recent takes from the likes of Dan Pink and others. The consensus is when employee's core needs are met, they will be better, more productive employees.
Rebecca has made it her mission to help organizations recognize in order to succeed in the future, they need to recognize we are in the 4th stage of industrial revolution, one based on knowledge, technology, and sustainability. Rebecca has plenty of science to back an organizational strategy based on the earlier revolutionary stages is increasingly both unhealthy and unsustainable.
Dana and Rebecca get deep as to why so many industries and organizations are so reluctant to adopt a new method that the innovators like Zappos have already proven works. Enjoy our 80'th episode as we dive into the Regenerative Revolution.
