Elevating the Human Experience: Three Paths to Love and Worth at Work
The new book by Deloitte Digital's chief experience officer and principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, Amelia Dunlop, "Elevating the Human Experience: Three Paths to Love and Worth at Work," launches today. Almost four years ago, Deloitte Digital set an aspiration to elevate the human experience. Dunlop's new book doubles down on the organization's commitment to shape experiences for customers and employees by focusing on what matters most: the human experience.
To better understand love and worth at work, Dunlop led a quantitative study of 6,000 people in the U.S. and found that while it matters to 90% of people to feel worthy, 50% struggle to feel worthy, particularly at work. This is what Dunlop calls the "Worthiness Gap." Weaving together insights from philosophers, theologians and sociologists with stories from people of diverse backgrounds gathered during her research, Dunlop shares the three paths to elevating the human experience: a personal exploration to recognize your intrinsic worth; the journey to become a better ally to others by mirroring back their worth; and the challenge to redesign the system of work so that people feel safe showing up as their authentic selves.
