    Purpose in the Workplace: Retaining Talent Through Innovation, Engagement, and a Sense of Belonging

    A surge in employee turnover and changing expectations in the workforce has made the pursuit of purpose in the workplace a business imperative. With an increasingly mobile workforce, retaining top talent has become a challenge that companies can’t afford to ignore. A study shows that roughly 70% of employees feel their sense of purpose is defined by what they do at work. But what does “purpose in the workplace” actually mean? How can companies attract, engage, and retain employees in a world where purpose drives performance?

Roche speaks with Claire Chandler, the president and founder of Talent Boost, to explore the importance of purpose in the workplace. Together, they dive into why companies need to provide more than just a paycheck and how focusing on purpose can build stronger, more engaged teams.

Storytelling plays a key role in creating this sense of belonging and alignment with the company’s mission. – Building a Purpose-Driven Culture: Purpose aligns business strategy with personal fulfilment, leading to stronger performance and lower turnover rates. Claire Chandler is the founder of Talent Boost, where she specializes in helping companies align their talent strategy with business growth.
