GOOD WORK DESIGN

Good Work occurs by design – a systematic approach to enquire, engage, and connect with people to understand what they do, how they do it, what resources are needed, in which environments, with whom, and how it could be done better. Good Work Design involves empathising with workers to co-create a better world.
