Moving from the context of “People Over Profits” to “People First” Investments: Crafting Ventures That Enrich Everyone!

Profit isn’t just a number on a balance sheet—it reflects the value created through human effort, collaboration, and “Care” > wellbeing > trust > belonging > purpose, > agility, and autonomy—leading to meaningful engagement, growth, and human-centered profits for everyone!

“Human-centered” profit reframes this idea by grounding profitability in a business's investments in its people.

It acknowledges that thriving employees are the cornerstone of innovation, productivity, and customer satisfaction and that these elements drive sustainable financial success.

Human-centered profit is about seeing employees not as costs but as core contributors to organizational growth.

By investing in their wellbeing—through engagement, training, development, and support—businesses unlock their workforce’s potential to deliver results that benefit everyone.

Gallup data illuminates this truth, demonstrating that organizations that genuinely engage their people and teams experience a remarkable 21% boost in profitability.

This represents a blend of compassion and astute business strategy.

These people-first investments transform wellbeing from a “perk” to a measurable competency that enhances performance.

When employees have the resources, skills, and support to excel, their contributions ripple outward, creating value for the organization and its stakeholders.

The result? Profit that reflects shared success—not at the expense of employees but through their growth and empowerment.

We crafted the Care Charter and established Care LeaderLabs to bring this approach to life.

Embedding wellbeing into organizational strategy ensures that care drives financial returns and mutual gains.

Human-centered profit transcends mere margins;

it embodies the nurturing of a harmonious ecosystem where individuals and profits flourish in unison, demonstrating that the most enduring investments are those rooted in the wellbeing and aspirations of all members of the organization/

Elevating the wellbeing of individuals, teams, managers, and senior leaders is essential for enduring success and human-centered profit and growth

In summary, the concept of people-first investments highlights the significance of a comprehensive approach to employee wellbeing as a fundamental element of organizational success.

This commitment reduces turnover and costs, enhances performance and wellbeing, and supports sustained growth.

A people-first philosophy fosters a "Culture of Care" that benefits employees and the organization, resulting in human-centered profitability.

Marc, you're absolutely correct and this is a critical point for leaders to understand. You're not just doing "the right thing." You are making an investment that will have a huge return on investment in productivity, retention, recruitment and a myriad of other positive results.

Employee wellness and/or employee wellbeing has become the "accepted" brand. A stronger link to the employer investment (a results-focused and comprehensive wellness strategy versus a “check-the-box” wellness initiative) might push forward a shift in the program brand. For example, “Employee Health, Wellbeing & Performance” (i.e., "ability to thrive at work, at home and/or in the community").

Thoughtful post Marc, particularly when you factor in longevity overlays.
