1. Human-Centricity:

Jobs and workplaces enable all employees to realise their full potential through job autonomy, opportunities for learning and development, and a voice in decision-making. Technologies enhance – not replace – human skills and potential, minimising repetitive work and enabling employees to focus on higher-level tasks.

2. Sustainability:

Companies are deeply committed to reducing their environmental impact by reducing consumption of energy and materials, for example through circular production and recycling. Every employee has the opportunity to contribute to ideas and initiatives for a greener future in their daily work.

3. Resilience:

Organisations and their workers arm themselves against threats such as supply chain disruption and cyber-attacks, whilst investing in the longer-term capacity for innovation and agility that enables them to survive and thrive in a rapidly evolving global economy.

Employees contribute their full range of knowledge, skills and creativity at work in return for greater trust, opportunities to learn and develop, and freedom to contribute ideas for improvement and innovation.

Technologies introduced with extensive worker participation replace arduous and boring work. They also empower and upskill workers, leading to flatter organisations and the delegation of decision-making to self-managed teams.

Reducing environmental impact is a key corporate goal, enhancing a company’s brand and reputation whilst strengthening its ability to attract and retain key employees through clearly articulated social values and purpose.

A strategic focus on long-term competitiveness rather than short-term profits alone, alert to strategic challenges and opportunities, and aligning culture and workplace practices to shared goals and the management of risks.
