Would You Earn Less In Exchange For Meaningful Work?

9 out of 10 people are willing to earn less money if they did more meaningful work…

Interesting isn’t it? In our society, we often equate success with external factors like the cars we drive, the houses we live in, the clothes we wear and how much we earn.

Studies have shown that, as long as we earn enough to provide for our essential needs, any amount above this does not increase our happiness.

In an ever-changing environment where nothing is predictable, making the link for your employees between their work and the impact it has beyond your shareholders could be the answer to increase engagement and productivity.

Organisations that do this, increase productivity by USD $9,000 per year, per employee and employees are almost 70% less likely to leave.

How does your organisation help your employees to make the link between their work and a wider purpose?
