Many people including founders, entrepreneurs and workers representatives both known and unknown have fought to make work and workplaces more humane for all concerned.
A workplace can become a place of knowledge, understanding, wisdom, humility, justice, fairness, happiness, utility and rights recognition. Knowledge is a key strategic asset and foundation. It has enormous worth as a source of value generation and competitive advantage. Understanding means that data and information can be analysed and interpreted correctly and applied to some good purpose. Wisdom helps to make the right choices and decisions. Humility guards against unethical practices, unjust wages, poor conditions, persecution and discrimination. Justice is the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens, or 'fair shares'. If the distribution is according to society's rules it is considered ethical. The utility approach is a cost-benefit analysis of an economic, social or human action using utilitarian reasoning. The balance of net benefits over net costs determines how much good the action can produce. Rights mean that people have entitlements to something or to be treated in a particular way. Denying rights, failing to implement or protect them is unethical. They are based on human rights principles.
We can only hope it continues.
