humanising
Adding human touch
Humanising is the British spelling of humanizing—making something more human, humane, or relatable.
To humanise a public figure is to reveal their ordinary qualities: The documentary humanised the controversial politician by showing her with her family.
Institutions humanise processes by adding personal touches or reducing bureaucratic coldness.
