Camerados in the workplace.
How can the place where you work embrace a more human environment in a world where there is more hybrid working or austerity measures mean everyone is stretched, busy and feeling undervalued? Even before the Covid pandemic, the way we work was changing but now with more physical distance, less time for collaboration and interaction, what will be the shift in our collective wellbeing because of this lack of meaningful human connection with colleagues, patients, customers, residents…….
The Camerados Movement believes that the answer to all of this lies in genuine human connection. It sounds simple. Except when you start to think about how to create it within a disparate group of people, you begin to realise that it’s really not that simple at all. So how, when more people are feeling both emotionally and physically divided, can we create working environments in which teamwork and collaboration become second nature? Places where ideas and creativity are welcomed, yet people feel genuinely supported and comfortable enough to admit their mistakes. Workplaces where every person understands the part they have to play in building a truly supportive, inclusive, people-focused working environment.
Over the past 9 years we’ve invented, iterated, adapted and worked alongside communities, schools, workplaces and academic learning partners to understand how human connection can be created in an authentic and sustainable way. We’ve witnessed the positive, and often completely transformative, effects that adopting the Camerados ethos and principles has had on people.
