At the heart of this people-first culture is the idea that individuals should be prioritised over making money , although having a happier workforce inevitably has the potential to result in increased productivity and profits , as Nawi explains .
“ People-first culture is based on the assumption that there is a strong correlation between happy employees and the success of the business ,” she says . “ Implementing a people-first culture is critical to achieving sustainable growth and scale . Essentially , an employer should create a healthy and safe workplace in which people can thrive and pursue their personal and business goals .”
Nawi is adamant that modern-day organisations must foster a people-first approach , insisting that focusing solely on business outcomes is only sustainable for a limited period of time .
