Perks, benefits and financial reward are not enough to develop a motivated, productive and high-performing workforce. For employees to work to their full potential, purpose and meaning at work is key.
Purpose at Work is a practical guide for senior business leaders and people professionals which shows them how to create purpose-driven teams and design organizations where people want to work. It covers why meaning is so important for employees in today's working environment, how work has moved from a commodity to an experience and why a clear sense of purpose is essential for individual and organizational success. This book offers practical guidance on how to build a company culture that prioritizes purpose and explains how to embed this into behaviors and actions across the business. There is also guidance on how to drive staff attraction and retention, boost workforce productivity and performance as well as improving employee engagement and wellbeing with a clear sense of purpose across the business.
Packed with interviews and real-world examples from companies including HV Capital, Unmind and Wonderbly, this book explains the employee, workforce and business benefits of prioritizing purpose at work and shows how to achieve them in any organization.
