At Culture Booster, we believe the future of work is not about choosing between humanity and performance. It’s about building workplaces where both thrive—where people feel supported, understood, and empowered to reach their full potential while delivering exceptional results. This isn’t just a vision; it’s a necessity. It’s how we create better businesses, better lives, and a better world.
What We Mean by "High Humanity"
Work isn’t separate from life. Life happens—moments of celebration, hardship, growth, and loss. High humanity means we recognize this and create environments where people are truly seen, not just as employees, but as human beings. High Humanity means:
· Supporting someone through personal challenges.
· Recognizing that stress, burnout, and overwhelm are real—and preventable.
· Creating systems where employees feel trusted, valued, and connected.
· It’s showing up for each other in a way that goes beyond the bare minimum.
· It’s putting people first because we understand that when humans are supported, they can give their best selves to the work they do.
But let’s be clear: humanity isn’t soft.
It’s not about lowering expectations or excusing mediocrity. It’s about creating an environment where people can perform at their best because they feel supported.
What We Mean by "High Performance"
To serve the world—our customers, communities, and one another—we must pursue high performance relentlessly. High performance means we:
· Set clear, ambitious goals and achieve them.
· Stay accountable to our commitments.
· Continuously improve and innovate, neversettling for “good enough.”
· Challenge ourselves to be better everyday—individually and as teams.
High performance is the fuel that drives us forward. It’s what allows us to build great products, deliver real impact, and provide for the people we care about. Without it, our business fails. Without it, we can’t keep showing up for one another.
A False Choice: Balancing Humanity and Performance
Too many workplaces have framed this as an either/or: “We’re a people-first company,” they say, as they lose focus on results. Or worse: “We demand results,” while neglecting the humanity of their people. We reject this false choice. We are building technology to create a world where humanity and performance feed each other, where being seen and supported unleashes unprecedented results. This isn’t about balance—it’s about integration.
High humanity drives high performance. High performance creates the space for people to succeed. It’s a virtuous cycle.
The Role of Technology in Changing Work
This vision—of high humanity and high performance—is bold. And it’s possible. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It requires systems that make it easy to:
· Show up for your people consistently.
· Have the right conversations at the right time.
· Recognize progress, measure behaviors, and alignaround shared goals.
· Keep a pulse on how people are feeling, growing,and performing.
That’s what we’re building at Culture Booster. Tools that enable real conversations, real accountability, and real results—because when we get it right, we’re not just improving workplaces. We’re improving lives.
A Call to Leaders
To the managers and leaders reading this: Your role has never been more critical. You have the power to create teams where people feel safe to bring their whole selves to work, challenged to achieve their best, and inspired to make an impact. This is your opportunity to set a new standard—to lead with both empathy and excellence, humanity and ambition. We believe you can. And we’re here to help.
A Vision for the Future
The way we work shapes the way we live. When workplaces fail to integrate high humanity and high performance, the effects spill over—stress and disconnection follow employees home, impacting families, communities, and lives. But when workplaces prioritize both, the outcomes are transformative. A supportive, human-centered workplace doesn’t just improve performance; it creates a ripple effect where people feel seen, valued, and supported. They show up as their best selves, fueling stronger teams, healthier lives, and better results.
We choose the latter.
High humanity. High performance. Together, we can redefine what’s possible at work—and beyond.
