Change is one of the few constants in life. The ways of doing business in 1723 did not apply to doing business 1960. Similarly, the best way of doing business in 1960 isn’t working for us anymore either. Some companies may resist change, and some will embrace it, but change will come all the same.

A People First company functions better in the 21st century. People First companies thoughtfully cultivate their relationships with both employees and their customers, and respect each employee as a valuable person rather than a cog in a machine.

Employees are your most valuable asset. It has been shown time and again that the best competitive edge you can possibly have is a team of excellent people. If you can attract the best talent, maintain an environment that nurtures them, bring out the best in them, and make your company a place they want to stay, the odds of being a long term successful and sustainable business are very high..

Being people first makes hiring and training employees easier, attracts positive consumer and community attention, creates an organizational environment that is better suited to be flexible and adjust to changing circumstances and be long-term more profitable than its competition.

Old business models are failing. The industrial revolution has passed, and people are less and less willing to accept being that nameless, faceless cog in a giant machine. When businesses approach decisions purely based on profit, without considering their people or the larger environment and community in which they operate, they are stuck in the past. When they become people first, they are taking part in the evolution of business.

People First Companies:

• See greater employee satisfaction and productivity rates
• Enjoy easier hiring and training of employees
• Attract positive consumer and community attention
• Create more flexible and innovative organizational environments
• Are long term more profitable than their competitors

* Automation and globalization have flooded the market with competitive products and services. It’s harder than ever to differentiate yourself from competitors. Consumers are searching for new criteria to make purchasing decisions and more and more, are seeking companies with strong core values and a purpose aligned with doing good.

* Both customers and employees are becoming more conscious of their interconnectedness with society and the environment. They are seeking out companies that align with their values and beliefs, and they want to be associated with organizations that prioritize the well-being of their people, the planet, and having a positive impact on society.

* Growing research has shown that companies that prioritize their employees’ well-being tend to perform better financially. Employees who feel valued and supported are more productive, innovative, and loyal, leading to higher customer satisfaction, retention, and ultimately, revenue growth.

* A values-centered, people-first company is better equipped to adapt to the ever-changing business landscape. By focusing on its core values and empowering its employees, a company can create a strong culture that fosters innovation, resilience, and agility.

* There is growing recognition among business leaders that the pursuit of profit alone is not sustainable in the long run.

A people-first company is the next trend in global business because it aligns with the changing expectations of customers and employees, drives financial performance, fosters innovation and agility, and creates long-term value for all stakeholders.
