Kelly Mackin Achieves Amazon Best Seller Status
Kelly Mackin, a prominent human behavior researcher and innovator in workplace wellness, has made a remarkable entrance into the literary world. Her first book, titled
Work Life Well-Lived, has hit the coveted
#1 Best Seller spot on Amazon—a significant milestone that underscores its appeal and relevance in today's work environment.
A New Approach to Workplace Well-Being
Through rigorous research and practical insights, Mackin, along with her company
Motives Met, presents a fresh perspective on defining well-being at work. The book serves not only as a manifesto for a human-centered working approach but also as a clarion call for reshaping organizational cultures.
Mackin's work reveals alarming statistics—only
16% of individuals report thriving in their work environments. Traditional notions of well-being appear to be overshadowed by widespread ill-being. Mackin's innovative framework outlines a
five-step pathway aimed at fundamentally altering how people perceive and attain well-being within professional settings.
Expert Insights and Framework
Deloitte’s first chief well-being officer,
Jen Fisher, emphasizes the necessity of human-centered workplace cultures. She states, “The way we live and work is unsustainable.” Mackin’s book is rooted in extensive research and posits a framework that helps leaders prioritize human outcomes, thereby establishing a sustainable work environment conducive to success.
Mackin conveys that everyone possesses unique motivational drivers that affect their ability to thrive professionally. These include dimensions such as
purpose, belonging, growth, and work-life harmony. By understanding these motives, employees and leaders alike can engage in more meaningful dialogue regarding workplace well-being and performance.
Practical Tools for Meaningful Conversations
Alongside the book, readers receive complimentary access to the
Motives Met Human Needs Assessment™. This tool allows individuals to identify their top five motivating factors from a comprehensive list of 28 drivers critical for thriving at work. Such insight empowers individuals not only to understand their motives better but also to foster an environment where these needs can be communicated and fulfilled effectively.
With this assessment, Mackin provides resources aimed at making the results actionable over time, transforming sporadic insights into continuous development and focus on well-being at work.
The Vision of a Thriving Work Life
In Mackin's words, “The dream of a work life well-lived is within reach.” The book's insightful approach aligns perfectly with the modern workforce's demand for purpose-driven work environments that encourage free expression and fun.
