Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
In an August 2025 workplace survey, Gallup reported that employees who feel a strong sense of vocational purpose have better work outcomes. The survey said that 50 percent of those who have a strong purpose, feel connected to their work, are enthusiastic about what they do, and are committed to their organization’s success.
By comparison, only 9 percent of employees who scored low on purpose said they feel engaged at work.
II Timothy 1:9 says: “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.’”
Helping your team members see a higher purpose for their work can help drive engagement. Our highest, and most eternally fruitful, purpose is God’s will for our work.
