Purpose and Work

Perks, benefits and financial rewards 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 are key.

Purpose and Work is a practical guide for senior business leaders and people professionals that shows them how to create purpose-driven teams and design organisations 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 organisational success.

This book offers practical guidance on how to build a company culture that prioritises purpose and explains how to embed this into behaviours 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 prioritising purpose at work and shows how to achieve them in any organisation.
