Is Your Workplace Toxic? Discover What You Can Do About It

PALMYRA, Va. - May 21, 2019 - EntSun -- "Moe Carrick – with her brilliant new book Bravespace Workplace – will help us change this toxic paradigm," says Glennon Doyle, author of the New York Times bestseller Love Warrior. "Warm, witty, and data-driven, Carrick unflinchingly tackles the false dichotomy that a company must choose between profit and people." Carrick presents compelling, real-world stories about what it takes to make organizations bring out the absolute best in human beings and offers numerous ideas for action that readers can take to transform their own workplaces into Bravespaces.

"Leaders need to focus on five interdependent levers of their day-to-day work to enhance the humanity and the performance of everyone who works for them — a win–win for both employee and employer," according to Carrick. These levers are:

• The human essentials – develop heart skills: empathy, vulnerability, transparency, compassion, and courage
• A conscious culture – develop people practices that sustain a healthy organizational culture
• Purposeful design – develop human-centered internal processes and organizational structures, recognizing that work has a natural place in our lives
• Meaning and context – insure that work is meaningful and offers a way to contribute: people feel seen, feel necessary, feel occupied, feel compelled
• The soft stuff and being real – allow for authentic expressions of humanity and human nature

Carrick offers ten practical behaviors to employ right now to make an organization a Bravespace workplace. Doing so will activate the best that people have to bring to their work, benefitting the oganization's results, its bottom line, the communities in which it operates, the environment it requires, and the value that it adds.
