People want to make a difference. For organisations striving to attract and retain top talent, understanding this universal human aspiration is essential. A purpose-driven culture can be the linchpin of organisational success, offering a competitive edge in the global talent market.
Purpose-Driven Organisations
Employees are most loyal and engaged when they clearly see how their work benefits others. Whether it’s designing a product, delivering a service, or driving innovation, a clear link between effort and impact fuels motivation. This alignment between personal values and professional outcomes transforms employees from contributors into ambassadors.
Consider the oft-cited story of Steve Jobs persuading John Sculley to leave Pepsi for Apple. Jobs’ question was simple yet profound: “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That same question resonates with employees across all industries today. People don’t just want a job — they want their work to matter.
