Reverse Engineering Alienation

Alienation is one of the core antipatterns of capitalism. As it is possible that capitalism is here to stay. If it can self-correct and improve on the present condition then the revolution, should it be inevitable without such a cure, may be obviated. Not quite saying that there is possibility to solve the grand problem of capitalism - the class "warfare."
One of the main causes of drudgery and boring routine at work is the inherent alienation. So could that be solved by the opposite process of humanisation?
Investment in emotionally charging work with drive for happiness could be derived from gamification of work. Also another path needs to be the creative empowerment of lower skill personnel, so that they are exposed to the creative processes in improving the business and the products and services as contributors. That would also incentivise lifelong education.
