Purpose at work is often considered the ultimate motivator — the White Whale that HR and management teams relentlessly pursue. Meanwhile, we’re pushing our own proverbial boulders of spreadsheets, emails, and video meetings. So here are some pressing questions: Can we find purpose in the work we do? Should we even need to? Or is avoiding fulfilment in order to spend 2,000 hours a year ‘improving shareholder value’ the ultimate act of accismus?

What we’ll cover:

• How to build a workplace which fosters authentic purpose.
• What the future of work may look like as it relates to motivating teams.
• What is the purpose economy spectrum, and how you can use this.
• What you can do to make your values more connected to action.

Why is it important for people to learn this skill?

The world of work is changing, and with the rise of concern around quiet quitting, engagement, and genuine connection to work (particularly with AI’s huge disruption at our door), it’s more important than ever to investigate human-centric motivators and how we can operationalise them with genuine care and connection.

Who is this relevant for?

Managers, leaders, people professionals.
