"I've long thought we can make work better by making work about people. The Work human Charter of Workplace Rights champions that notion by challenging workplaces to become more responsive to human needs, but it goes beyond that. This charter isn't about helping people work better for the benefit of business; this charter is about helping people be better. For the benefit of society. Smart organizations know business performance will follow; if you do the right things, the right things will happen. But truly great organizations understand we exist for more. We have the power to change the world, and we can start by changing work."
--Jason Averbook, CEO and co-founder of Leapgen
