The People Project
Helping leaders create a culture of well-being and engagement for the human beings on their team.
The People Project©, led by Dave Rodriguez of Destinyworks, LLC is a guided process of discovery and invention for leaders and their lead teams that generates new strategies of human resourcing for their organization.
The People Project© is a way to discover what people really need for their well-being, meaning and connectedness.
Why is the People Project needed?
Leaders are facing unparalleled challenges in human resourcing. They realize they don’t have adequate strategies to retain and develop their people. Today’s worker is not just motivated by an appealing salary and benefits package. They desire meaning, well-being and connectedness.
Providing what their team members long for is not an easy task. People today are dealing with extraordinary personal challenges that complicate their work and personal lives. Societal changes and trends have further frustrated leaders’ efforts to care for their people. Leaders need help. They need new approaches to address their people’s hunger for well-being within the work context. They want practical, tactical ideas and tools to increase employee meaning and connectedness. Leaders are looking for wisdom and guidance in crafting these new strategies.

How does the People Project work?
The People Project© consists of a series of meetings spread over a six-month time frame. Participants will include the organizational senior leader and their lead team. These twice per month, 60-90 minute meetings will be guided by a Destinyworks coach. Meetings may be in person or virtual.
This series of meetings will initially be devoted to Discovery – analysis and assessment. In time, meetings will shift to Invention – creation of a human resourcing or people care strategy unique to the organization.
The Process of Discovery:
- An analysis of the people culture and people values of the organization.
- An assessment of the condition of the team both corporately and as individuals.
- A review of the current state of well-being of human beings today.
- A review of resources currently available for enhanced people care in organizations.
The Process of Invention:
- Consensus agreement on the big idea of people care for the organization that will guide the team going forward.
- Creation of 3-4 key objectives for the new people care strategy.
- Crafting of the measurable tactics and routines essential to accomplishing the objectives.
- Forming the communication and execution plan going forward.
