The Power of Purpose: Why Employees Stay When Work Feels Meaningful
Most employees leave not for money, but because their work feels meaningless. Perks can't replace purpose. When contributions matter, engagement and loyalty follow. Retention hinges on meaning, not benefits. If employees can't link their work to a larger mission, they'll seek it elsewhere. Ask: Are your people just showing up, or are they committed?
From Exit Interviews to Stay Interviews
Stay interviews are crucial for retaining top talent and boosting engagement. They differ from exit interviews by emphasizing employee satisfaction and exploring motivations and improvement areas. This proactive strategy encourages open communication, values employee input, and builds loyalty. By prioritizing stay interviews, organizations can lower turnover and enhance overall health, ensuring employees remain engaged and committed to success.
