FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Instead of treating employees as functions within a system, more organizations are beginning to design their cultures around human needs and strengths. The result? A growing shift toward what is known as a people-centric organization. Origin of the term The concept of a people-centric organization comes from a broader shift in management thinking away from industrial-era, process-heavy models toward approaches that recognize employees as the primary source of value creation. The origins of the term “people-centric organization” can be traced back to the late 1950s in early work on human factors engineering and socio-technical systems design, where the focus began shifting toward designing technologies and workplaces around human needs and limitations.
