We all understand that having a sense of purpose at work is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. However, try asking people around you on whether they have found their sense of purpose at work. They will most likely answer “I don’t know”, or believe that everything will magically fall into place one day.
Whether you like it or not, the truth is, nobody is going to magically appear and sort your life nicely. No boss is going to suddenly provide a life-changing learning opportunity or a promotion – it’s up to us to TAKE CONTROL on our career.
Why Should We Find a Sense of Purpose at Work?
A sense of purpose at work drives our performance to be successful in our career. The more we believe in our purpose at work, the more we engage with work and strive to constantly be better and it’s far beyond just a paycheck.
Then only it will lead to great learning opportunities, promotions and work satisfaction.
To cultivate team work spirit, leaders can start by proactively communicating with employees about their sense of purpose at work. Then, provide freedom and support for employees to work on existing or new projects that they are personally interested in.
This will empower employees to personally experience the impact of their projects on the company. As a result, employees will feel more engaged and it cultivates their sense of purpose at work.
Once employees are fulfilled with their roles, it will then enhance employee retention in the organisation. In time, the organisation will perform like a well-lubricated engine, where each employee understands their purpose and goals, working in perfect sync to achieve company vision and goals together.
