Help employees feel purpose-driven and watch revenues rise
The 2016 Workforce Purpose Index found that 85 percent of companies that were able to find ways to help their employees feel more purpose-driven saw positive growth in revenue.
We all want to have a job that motivates and fulfills us. But according to a recent study from LinkedIn and leadership training firm Imperative, there isn’t only an emotional gain, but a fiscal one, that comes from finding purpose in your work.
The 2016 Workforce Purpose Index found that while only 30 percent of American workers say that they are enthusiastic about their work, 85 percent of companies that were able to find ways to help their employees feel more purpose-driven saw positive growth in revenue.
Businesses with “purpose” are defined by the researchers as ones with an understood mission that has a positive impact on the world, a culture that encourages individual growth and business that is done based on the strength of interpersonal relationships.
