Abstract

Abstract Organizations that develop the 10 Ideal Work Elements presented in this chapter (community at work and camaraderie, intrinsic motivation and rewards, control and flexibility, fairness and equity, professional development and mentorship, partnership, safety, and trust and respect) produce meaning and purpose in work, promote engagement and discretionary effort, and cultivate professional well-being. People-centered organizations flourish because they have professional staffs who come to work with passion and who do not limit their work to what is in their job description. They do whatever is necessary to support each other and to get the job done.
