Rehumanising Work

We don’t want to be cogs anymore.

Work isn’t broken because people are lazy.

It’s broken because it stopped being human.

Somewhere along the way, work became:

Constant pressure
Endless measurement
Performative busyness
Silence instead of conversation
People expected to cope, adapt, and absorb – quietly.

And most people feel it.

They just don’t know where to put it.

THIS IS A
BREAKING POINT

AND PRETENDING OTHERWISE ISN’T HELPING

People are tired - not just busy.
Disconnected - not disengaged.
Capable - but constrained.

Work drifted.
Not overnight.
Not deliberately.

But gradually, quietly, until this became ‘normal’:

Doing more with less
Feeling watched instead of trusted
Hybrid work done badly
Leaders under pressure, teams under strain
Nobody quite saying the thing everyone feels.

Rehumanise Work exists because this version of work isn’t working anymore.

THIS IS NOT AN HR CAMPAIGN

AND IT’S NOT A CORPORATE INITIATIVE

This isn’t about perks.
Or ping-pong tables.
Or another engagement survey that goes nowhere.

Rehumanise Work is about something simpler - and harder:

Work that treats people like people
Conversations instead of assumptions
Trust instead of control
Progress instead of performance theatre.

It’s about rebuilding work from the inside out.

Quietly.
Relentlessly.
Humanly.

WHO THIS
IS FOR

This movement is for anyone who’s thought:

“Why does work feel harder than it needs
to be?”

“We’re capable of more than this.”

“Something isn’t right - but nobody’s naming it.”

“Surely there’s a better way to work than this.”

Employees.
Leaders.
Founders.
Managers.
People who care.

You don’t need a title to recognise the problem.

WHAT REHUMANISE WORK STANDS FOR

People first. Always.
Not as a slogan - as a design choice.

Conversation over silence.
Most problems aren’t unknown. They’re unheard.

Everyday change, not grand gestures.
Real change happens through small, repeated shifts - not big announcements.

This is the foundation of Living Change™ - bottom-up, human-first change that doesn’t wait for permission.

THIS IS A MOVEMENT - NOT A PROGRAMME

There’s no membership fee.
No pledge.
No sales pitch.

Joining Rehumanise Work means:

Paying attention to what isn’t working
Refusing to accept ‘this is just how it is’
Being open to working differently - even when it feels uncomfortable.

Some people will talk.
Some will share.
Some will lead change inside their organisations.
Some will simply feel less alone.

All of that counts.

Founded by Catherine Armshaw – business strategist and creator of the PEOPLE Principles™ and Living Change Model™. Rehumanise Work exists to give voice to what millions are already feeling.

HOW THIS
WILL GROW

Rehumanise Work will come to life through:

Real stories from real workplaces
Open conversations about what’s broken - and what’s possible
Practical thinking rooted in people-first principles
Collective pressure for work to evolve, not regress.

This isn’t about shouting louder.
It’s about enough people saying the same thing.
