We'll be talking about his work helping organizations across the globe to enable their employees to cultivate joy and meaning in their work and across their lives. Work is such an integral part of life, and companies that work to create cultures of meaning led by purpose-inspired leaders are handsomely rewarded with higher levels of employee engagement, greater discretionary effort and performance, and heightened levels of retention as their employees feel connected to a higher purpose in their service and thus more fulfilled in their overall lives," says Alise Cortez, the host of the Working on Purpose radio show.
