In Harvard Business Review, Susan Peppercorn highlighted five questions to help you retain your employees. Today I want to talk about the second question, “Do you feel a sense of purpose in your job?’
Many employees do serve meaningful roles in your company. But if they don’t know how to connect their work to your mission, work likely feels like just a job to them.
As an employer, you have a responsibility to help your employees connect the importance of their personal work to the mission of the organization.
Proverbs 20:5 teaches, “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.”
A good boss invests the time to draw-out their employee’s purposes. Doing so will help you retain and engage your employees.
