Exploring How to Reward the Human Work

As we warned yesterday, we are fighting on behalf of the teams that have mercifully overcome their resistance, biases and fears and have started regularly engaging in the human work - we believe they deserve unequivocal recognition and payment for doing so. This is the beginning of a heavy exploration to understand what it would take for organisations to facilitate and finally recognise and reward the efforts of those that have put time into doing the human work.

In this video, Ffion and I start framing the effort.

We will undoubtedly come to where we have to decompose the mechanisms that enable the incessant command and control and we’ll likely get to think of and analyse what cultural norms and processes contribute to the status quo where employees are never rewarded for any of the emotional and behavioural work.

We will discuss the topic of performance reviews and reassess sources of data and feedback loops as well as their occasionally maddeningly subjective nature.

• We will speak about productivity versus performance and what they both mean in the context of the actively disengaged quiet quitters.
• We will touch on the idea of career paths, the ability to grow, and the role of learning.
• We’ll get real about personality tests, yearly surveys, 360s and all other tools employed today.
