Evolving Awareness for Today's Organization  


Workplace Evolution expands upon the concept of compassion in capitalism, taking it beyond a philanthropic attitude or department. Compassion in the workplace impacts everything we do internally and externally. That's what makes an organization come alive - compassion integrated into the organization's identity. Compassion is both the fuel and lifeblood to the organization and is only available in a self-aware organization. As awareness grows the employees know they can count on the fact everyone relates with the customers and vendors and each other with compassion, a depth of self-aware honesty, and simple truth. This impacts everything that is done and who everyone is while they are doing it. It permeates the entire organization and spills out naturally into the world. 

Workplace Evolution is an answer to the dilemma facing organizations today. It is also an answer to the problems facing our world. Organizations today are faced with a choice. Will they stay the current course or move forward into an inclusive and sustainable future?  

Workplace Evolution is a conscious and deliberate shift from win at any cost to all win solutions, where everyone's needs are taken into consideration and unintended consequences are no longer acceptable collateral damage.

Workplace Evolution provides the understanding that everyone is necessary, that there are no least-best employees, and that each and every person holds information vital to organizational and global success and want to contribute to its accomplishment. 


A Radical Change is Needed

Workplace Evolution advocates for compassion in capitalism. Organizations are concerned about keeping high quality people on the payroll and ensuring that those who choose to remain are fully on-board and engaged. The book suggests a powerful shift in thinking that will expose the root of the problem. The old business model is no longer viable, nor fit for service, in these uncommon times. It suppresses potential and ensures disengagement and disillusionment. A guarantee of continued organizational presence requires a radical change.

Workplace Evolution shows the way to reclaim untapped potential that exists within every employee. It provides the wake-up call of rugged honesty to help you examine those practices and behaviors that fall short of compassionate wisdom. People leave because, conscious or not, they aren't making a fulfilling contribution. They stay engaged because they are part of something that has integrity, that is inspiring to them, and to which they feel they add value. In truth, we all are capable of contributing more, individually, organizationally and globally, and we will not be truly satisfied and fully productive until we rise to a more compassionate potential. Lack of compassion is a disease that kills engagement, performance, creativity, and builds layer upon layer of stress and disconnection. Rather than a problem to be solved, this shift offers a remarkable opportunity to redefine ideas about business - like why we come to work in the first place (beyond dollars), what we need to be passionately engaged, why we think work should be work and whether or not it could actually become play, and what it is we offer employees, stakeholders and our world.  


A Competitive Edge

Workplace Evolution answers the retention and engagement question and also creates an unstoppable organization where all hands are on deck and jazzed to be there - the perfect antidote for stress and burn-out creativity blocks and poor performance. For years businesses have tried to find the missing link, that dynamite way way to motivate and engage employees, knowing that once found it would make all the difference to the organization's success. The missing link is indeed absent in today's business world. The link, the dynamite answer is at the center of engagement, at the heart of compassion and integrity. And, as long as it's win at any cost, it will always be missing because in our hearts we know what is right and what is wrong. That inner knowing prevents our full support of any solution or behavior that isn't honorable.
