As we continue to venture through COVID-19 disruptions and change, it’s more important than ever to help employees find connection and meaning at work. According to a Deloitte 2021 Human Capital Trends Report, “Organizations that embraced purpose were able to sift through competing priorities, unite workers under common goals, drive belonging and focus resources on their most pressing organizational and societal goals.” In this session, Tanya Fish will share how working on her individual purpose and connecting it with the purpose of her employer helps drive her each day. She will share best practices for engaging employees in organizational purpose and the added benefit of helping employees identify and connect their own purpose with that of their employer.
Whether an individual or an organization, our purpose is our “why” for existing. Understanding purpose comes from identifying what motivates us, what makes us happy, and what we need in order to help us feel important and valued. In fact, our purpose can often change, shifting as circumstances around us shift and as time goes by.
United Way of Central Iowa and its partners have developed this free Powered by Purpose resource to help our community improve its collective sense of purpose. Whether an individual or organization, discovering and living out our purpose increases our health, connection to each other and overall satisfaction with our lives.
Powered by Purpose is an initiative of United Way of Central Iowa. We lead the fight for the health, education, and financial stability of all central Iowans. Special thanks to the following Powered by Purpose partners:
