01 / THE IDEA
Humanization that reaches the structure.
The everyday experience of an institution is shaped by what its rules permit, reward and require.
A workplace may speak about dignity while its procedures send another message. In Casarotto’s account, the practical task is to examine that relationship: what happens when a worker makes a mistake, needs support, receives feedback or challenges a decision?
Humanization 2.0 brings those questions into governance. Written policies, responsibilities and procedures become places where the organization can examine how its declared values operate in practice.
The book extends the author’s work on personal development to the environments in which people act. It gives the institutional dimension of his wider project a practical form.
02 / PEOPLE & MENTAL HEALTH
The environment is part of the question.
What happens when an institution keeps producing the pressures a person is trying to overcome?
Humanized Systems extends the project of Virtology into organizational life. It asks how rules, leadership and everyday procedures can support dignity, participation and the recognition of human needs.
This gives the three works a shared direction: God Bless America examines a cultural structure, Foundations of Virtology develops a theory of human functioning, and Humanized Systems brings the institutional environment into the response.

05 / IN PRACTICE
What would change in daily institutional life?
Responsibility and dignity
The author distinguishes the responsibilities of a role from the idea that a person’s position gives them greater human worth. Leadership becomes a question about how responsibility is exercised.
A practice that survives a change of manager
Written rules and an internal commission give the institution a way to examine whether its approach continues when individual leaders change.
Make the system visible
Feedback, service and internal procedures bring institutional expectations into forms that people can discuss, apply and review.
These are explanatory connections drawn from Casarotto’s institutional teaching, rather than a report of measured results in a particular organization.
06 / INTERNATIONAL RELEVANCE
A question shared across borders.
Psychological health, psychosocial risk and the design of work provide international points of connection for the book.
Worker well-being
OSHA’s workplace-stress guidance and NIOSH’s Total Worker Health approach address working conditions and prevention.
OSHA guidance ↗NIOSH approach ↗Psychosocial risk
EU-OSHA identifies psychosocial risk management as part of employers’ duties under Framework Directive 89/391/EEC. National implementation varies.
EU-OSHA overview ↗Work design
Employers must assess and act on work-related stress risks. HSE’s Management Standards provide an approach to this task.
HSE guidance ↗INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE
ISO 45003
Guidelines for managing psychosocial risks within occupational health and safety management. ISO standards are voluntary and national law takes precedence.
ISO 45003 ↗ · Standards and national law ↗The Portuguese offer includes three hours of lessons about Brazil’s NR-1. The references above provide international context; they do not establish equivalence, certification, endorsement or legal compliance for the methodology.
07 / WHO IT IS FOR
For people who shape institutional life.
People responsible for decisions
Leaders, managers and human resources professionals can examine the connection between their responsibilities, the rules they work with and the experience of the people affected by them.
People who support change
Educators, consultants and professionals working with organizations can use the book to explore Casarotto’s account of institutional humanization. Its scope includes companies, public institutions, schools, hospitals and prisons.
RETURN TO THE CENTRAL BOOK
God Bless America.
The cultural question behind this project.
God Bless America examines how cultural structures reproduce patterns of power. Humanized Systems develops the institutional side of the response: how an organization can change the rules through which people encounter authority, expectations and one another.
