Episode Description

The buzz: Purpose. Engaged employees are happier, which translates to greater productivity, creativity, and commitment to their company’s success. If this describes only a few of your people, what are you doing to attract and nurture more like them? You can start by unleashing employees' personal passions and creating work environments that recognize and reward purpose-driven staff. Done right, it will impact your employees, workplace culture, the bottom line. The experts speak. Jenn Lim, Delivering Happiness: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” (Maya Angelou). Aaron Hurst, Imperative: “Wherever you go, there you are" (Buddhist saying). Alyse Wyler, SAP: “Just 40 hours a week equals 30% of our lives, so slacking in doing what you love isn’t an option. It’s all about finding your why” (Simon Sinek, The Power of Why). Join us for Purpose-Driven Employees: Sustainable Happiness and The Bottom Line.
