Our modern economy is filled with precarious working conditions. From gig work to last minute scheduling, workers must navigate complex, uncertain, and inequitable workplaces. According to Dr. Ram Mahalingam, that precarity undermines dignity in the workplace and harms the well-being of workers. In order to restore dignity to the workplace, he argues, we must recognize, intervene, preserve, and cherish the very core of what makes us human.
