About the Humanistic Management Network UK Chapter
The UK Chapter of the Humanistic Management Network is focused on building bridges between management education and practice and is building a strong footprint within the global Humanistic Management community.
Are universities teaching the skills that are actually needed in today’s rapidly changing workplaces? Are they incorporating the values that future managers will need? Please do contact the Chapter if you would like to be involved in the work of the Humanistic Management Network in the UK and beyond. We provide a forum for sharing ideas, concerns and practice at a time when geo-political events seem to be making the world a less kind and compassionate place to be. The need to be speaking up for humanistic values seems ever more urgent.

Call for contributions to a new anthology on gender and humanistic management
Time for a fresh approach to gender and managing?
Why do we need a new anthology on gender and management? Surely the field is saturated with over 50 years of theorising on the gendered nature of work? Is there anything new to say? We think there is, and that is why we are calling for contributions to a new anthology within the Humanism in Business series (Palgrave Macmillan (part of Springer Nature) in association with the Humanistic Management Network.
To contribute please download the call for contributions here: Gendering experiences of work and management through a humanistic management lens.
