What is Human-Centered?
Human-centered is exactly what it sounds like, putting people at the center of decision making. It is to consider the impacts of decision-making on the people who are implementing or engaged in the activity of those decisions.
How often does an organization consider the impact of their hiring process on the candidate and place them at the center?
How often does an organization proactively consider the impact of personnel policies and the work environment itself on the employee experience?
Human-centered practices acknowledge and proactively respond to the fact that people are at the core of everything an organization does, the most important of whom are those who are carrying out its mission. In other words, every single person on staff.
