If companies want to improve their business and human performance, they must focus on a “human sustainability” approach that prioritizes outcomes among workers, customers and society at large, according to a Feb. 6 report from Deloitte.
Although 89% of executives responding to a survey said their organization advances human sustainability in some way, only 41% of workers agreed.
“While organizations grapple with a myriad of challenges, a fundamental shift they should embrace is putting humans back at the center of work — after all, it is humans, more than any physical assets, that drive business performance,” Art Mazor, global human capital practice leader and principal of Deloitte Consulting LLP, said in a statement.
