Metrics for Success: Shifting from Engagement to Fulfillment in the Workplace
The organization Imperative leads global research on the topic of purpose at work. In late 2018, it released a major study in partnership with PwC and CECP (Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose) on purpose and fulfillment replacing engagement as a new metric for employee success. The study polled more than 2,000 employees and profiled dozens of executives to gauge their perception of fulfillment versus engagement, understand their current fulfillment at work and examine the performance implications of being fulfilled. Aaron Hurst, Imperative CEO and co-founder, will share the study's powerful implications on future HR strategy and unveil concrete examples of how organizations are shifting their HR practices around fulfillment.
Learning Objectives:
- Distinguish engagement versus fulfillment in the workplace.
- Understand how employees view engagement versus fulfillment, and why fulfilling work is preferred to engaging work.
- Assess the future of work and how the new Purpose Economy is disrupting HR as we know it.
