Interestingly however, a staggering 42% of Thrive Quiz respondents were neutral or disagreed that their organisation serves a meaningful purpose. So, why might some of our Thrive Quiz respondents feel disconnected from their organisation's purpose? We spoke with James Pacey, CEO at Haptivate who champions better well-being at work and who has supported countless organisations with employee well- being and happiness. Here are a few factors that James highlighted could cause a disconnect between business purpose and employee engagement: Companies are not realising the impact of purpose on employee well-being and productivity 1. 2. A lack of clarity around the organisation’s mission A disconnect between stated values and actual practices 3. 4. A lack of ‘leading by example’ in the organisation “CONNECTING TASKS TO PURPOSE EMPOWERS LEADERS, ENHANCES PRODUCTIVITY, AND FOSTERS AN ENGAGED WORKFORCE, SETTING A POSITIVE EXAMPLE FOR TEAMS.” James Pacey, CEO at Haptivate Organisations should prioritise transparent communication of their mission to combat employee apathy, ensuring alignment at all levels. James Pacey comments, “connecting tasks to purpose empowers leaders, enhances productivity, and fosters an engaged workforce, setting a positive example for teams.” Hayley Still advises, “ensuring that values align with your purpose is the key to embodying it every day. To drive meaningful change, make sure to allow sufficient time, create space, and provide the necessary tools to help your teams embracethe core ideas surrounding the purpose. Leaders should use diverse communication channels, tailor the message to resonate with various cultures, and encourage interactive sessions for feedback and clarity. In line with our people-oriented culture, this approach ensures a non-top-down process, leading to a unified adoption and understanding of our purpose.“
