Welcome to Humanity at the Heart

Humanity at the Heart is a safe space for people working to build, serve and support empowered local and workplace communities and public service with humanity at the heart.

Started and sponsored by Public World, its purpose is to house useful resources, host creative and friendly discussion, and facilitate mutual support and peer-to-peer learning.

Public World is a social enterprise that helps organisations enable and support their people to work with greater freedom and responsibility through self-organised team work.

But we see ourselves as part of wider movements of change towards asset-based community development, relational public service and greater freedom with responsibility in nurturing workplaces. That's why we're delighted to be working with the #DoWith movement to combine forces and create a movement of movements.

Some of the materials and posts here are open access to all members, while others are for particular special interest groups – and you can start your own!
We welcome you to our community and hope you’ll make it your community too! We believe passionately in self-organisation – so please join us not as a consumer but as a co-curator of this shared space.

Come on in!

Find out how putting humanity at the heart of the workplace . . .

• creates a happier and more engaged workforce
• increases staff retention
• improves client satisfaction
• builds sustainable services
• and much more

We know there are resources scattered far and wide across the internet in articles, books, videos and social media but we also know how busy you are. That's why we want to provide you with one space where all of that is available to you in an easy to use and find format. 

In addition we want to share events and training that we think you might be interested in as well as case studies and useful evaluation data. 

We value the input of each and every one of the community members and what they can bring to all of our learning. With that in mind there are various groups for you to use for peer to peer conversation and sharing.
