“Studies show that when individuals feel their work is meaningful and connected, they are more likely to contribute positively to their communities, from volunteering to small acts of neighbourliness (i.e., putting bins out, taking in parcels or trimming a shared hedge).
By contrast, a lack of fulfilment at work is associated with higher rates of domestic violence, mental health interventions, and family breakdown.
Engagement isn’t just a business differentiator.
Organisations “rent” employees from their families and their communities. When they keep their promises, people are returned stronger, more connected, more alive.
When they break them, the damage ripples far beyond quarterly reports, and into classrooms, kitchens, and communities.”
