S19E10 - Guiding Principles of Rehumanizing the Workplace, with Dr. Rosie Ward
In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Dr. Rosie Ward about guiding principles of rehumanizing the workplace. See the video here: https://youtu.be/58nDLSrcmiY.
Dr. Rosie Ward (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rward/) began her career in 1994 in the fitness industry as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and master’s degree in Public Health, with a focus on worksite health promotion. She became disheartened when she realized the way we approached supporting employee wellness didn't really work and she knew she needed to find a better path. After personally experiencing the ill-effects of a toxic work environment, she was inspired to shift gears and completed her Ph.D. in Organization and Management, where she focused on organizational culture, leadership, and coaching. She started to see how incredibly interconnected our own health and wellbeing are with the organizations where we work. After holding various leadership and consulting roles, she co-founded Salveo Partners, LLC, a consulting and professional development firm dedicated to rehumanizing workplaces so organizations and their people can thrive.
