Our relationship to work and our idea of the workplace has been upended, putting the usual metrics for productivity and performance into question. Traditional metrics revolve around business needs, often ignoring the needs of people. However, focus is now shifting to consider the people who perform the work and what they need to flourish.
So, how do we look beyond the old productivity measures and short-term timelines to create more humane and sustainable business measurement tools? With remote, in-person, and hybrid work arrangements and dynamic flex schedules, how do we define an engaged and productive workforce? How can we identify the drivers of productivity - and what might we be missing? What do we need to do to design, plan and measure work around new understandings of universal human needs?
SHINE Summit 2023 will address how the meaning and metrics of work have been forever changed, and how this provides an opportunity to rethink the humanity of work and the measurement of business success. Together, we will chart a course forward, developing new ways to think about performance, productivity and the human side of corporate sustainability.

About SHINE
The Sustainability and Health Initiative for Netpositive Enterprise (SHINE) is a research initiative of the Human Flourishing Program at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University which aims to advance a systematic approach to human flourishing at the organizational level. SHINE focuses on the study of flourishing at work - including the drivers and levers for change, the role of leadership and organizational culture, the connection to corporate goals and purpose, the state of the physical and psychosocial environments, work-life balance, work arrangements, and the future of work and technology, health and economic inequities, occupational health and safety, supply chain resilience, and social impact reporting - in an effort to drive collective impact that transforms work and business so that all may flourish.
