Human Sustainability
Human well-being is integral to organizational success.
What is Human Sustainability?
The degree to which the organization creates value for people as human beings, leaving them with greater health and well-being, stronger skills and greater employability, good jobs, opportunities for advancement, progress toward equity, increased belonging, and heightened connection to purpose.
Human sustainability isn't a trade-off.
It's a multiplier.
Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, has emphasized the importance of empowering employees holistically. Similarly, Salesforce’s Marc Benioff has tied employee wellness to business resilience.
These leaders suggest that sustainable businesses invest in their people, seeing well-being as a key factor for innovation and long-term growth.
