No one can argue that technology has transformed our world in myriad ways. It's allowed us to innovate rapidly, connect instantly, and get things done quickly.  But it's also made the pace of life dizzying and work more overwhelming and impersonal. In the midst of our digital deluge, we have become disconnected from each other. This is bad for business and worse for people. So how can companies create workplaces and practices that encourage human connection?  In BRING YOUR HUMAN TO WORK:  10 Surefire Ways to Design a Workplace That's Good for People, Great for Business, and Just  Might Change the World (McGraw-Hill; On Sale September 25, 2018) author Erica Keswin shows how the future of work requires honoring relationships in everything we do, from creating our values to the way we run meetings, who we hire, how we use technology, whom we partner with, and how we evaluate and reward talent.

Keswin, who has spent over twenty years in organization and leadership development, and in the human capital space, says "Bringing our human to work is both about putting technology in its place in order to build strong relationships and about inviting technology to the table, making good use of everything that can create a more human workplace."

Chapter after chapter of BRING YOUR HUMAN TO WORK features vivid case studies from innovative brands such as Lyft, Starbucks, Mogul, SoulCycle, SquareSpace, Rebecca Minkoff, JetBlue, and many others who offer inspiration and advice on how they create and live their values; design dynamic human-centered workspaces; use technology to provide more personalized customer service; give back to inspire employees; partner with people and brands that espouse high standards; and develop cultures that emphasize relationships and allow for real human connection.

A skilled connector who has worked with some of the most iconic companies in the world, Keswin shares secrets, strategies, tools, and resources to help companies and leaders actively form quality relationships that lead to sustainable success. 

Keswin offers insight into:

• Understanding your company's role in the world, beyond financial profit 
• Encouraging employees to be healthy in body and spirit 
• Running your meetings with clear purpose
• Making space for face-to-face interaction
• Building professional development into company culture
• Inspiring your workforce to give back to the community
• Simply saying "thank you."

Progress is only possible when we foster connection, fairness, devotion, and joy in the workplace―all critical elements of a successful business. By bringing our human to work, we can design a workplace that is good for people, great for business, and just might change the world.
