Research shows that purpose is linked to our well-being and that making a positive difference in the world correlates highly with psychological wellness, physical health, and longevity. Studies have also indicated that happiness and job performance are correlated with enhanced engagement, employee wellness, and organizational productivity. Leaders have the tremendous responsibility to positively impact their employees by connecting them to the larger vision of the organization, as well as ensuring that employees are allowed to participate in realizing this vision.
Join Dr. Minna Allarakhia to discuss the science of purpose and your role as a leader in designing organizations and workplaces that drive purpose and impact. Purpose-driven leaders will see their employees as a reflection and extension of the organization and themselves.
By connecting with your own sense of personal purpose, you can extend your purpose into your organization to empower other leaders and your employees. In transitioning back to the workplace, employees will look to leaders to rebuild beyond profitability and assess how organizational activities can align with people, prosperity within the communities where organizations function, and even planetary health. It is essential to create inclusive and nurturing workplace environments where employees are at their best and can innovate on purpose.
We will also explore opportunities that exist to holistically empower your employees, create value through sustainable innovation, and better connect with the communities where your organization operates through sustainable development. Join Dr. Minna Allarakhia and take a close look at how happiness is indeed connected to the human endeavor of creating a sense of purpose in our lives, within our organizations, and, ultimately, creating a positive impact in our communities. The key question we will begin to answer during this webinar is how you will lead and engage on purpose.
