agree  Joss Heywood: "humanizing" seems to be generally a verb, something that is done to organizations, not something that they do. Humane or caring are better.

  -> Hi, Liz. Your link is incomplete. Also, the "humanizing" in the portion you give is not an adjective modifying "organization", as is the case in the original. But others have provided examples in this posting and I agree that it is also a good translation
