Visionary expertise on intentional humanity at work
Let’s usher in a new era of what it means to be human at work.
I founded heyHUMANTIS as a refreshing alternative to the typical reactive and siloed approach to HR. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of fabulous HR professionals out there doing really great work. Collectively however, there is a need to get all folks thinking, being and feeling humanity at work.
With over two decades of experience helping organizations get damn good at all things HR, I saw the opportunity to improve HR outcomes by refocusing on the humans impacted by human resources decisions.
I believe humanity at work is a fundamental human right. And my thinking is that humans (that is all employees regardless of title) are social social systems within other social systems. I believe by building intentional connections with yourself and colleagues while understanding the complexity of social systems is the best path to living with and on purpose.
At heyHUMANTIS, I believe that everything is connected when it comes to being human in the workplace. By first considering the needs of each individual, then the team, and finally the broader organinzation, I can help you build habits and processes that together serve as the lifeblood of a successful team: honouring and respecting individuality.
A “keeping it real” approach to bringing humanity to work
I assess outcomes
I look to create sustainable change that fits and strengthens your social system (aka - organization) while still ensuring objectives are met.
I flip things upside down
Instead of chasing corporate goals, I start by getting to know entire teams and learning how you work together to get stuff done.
I work with everyone
Most organizations focus on job titles, but I think that anyone who wants to better themselves and their workplace should have the chance.
