AUTHOR’S VISION As Sarah Rozenthuler explained,
the
Sarah Rozenthuler, Bridgework Consulting, author, psychologist, consultant
global pandemic has brought purpose into sharp relief. Many individuals, teams and businesses are wrestling with the question: How is the world a better place through us being here? With the public becoming less tolerant of companies
profiteering from the Covid crisis, or abusing market power for short-term gain, this radical and transformative book shows how to make purpose come alive. With so many people now working from home, purpose also plays a powerful
role in avoiding the
downsides of remote working: lack of engagement, poor work-life balance and mental health issues. Recent research has shown remote workers are three times more sensitive to the positive impact of purpose than their office-based peers. By making work meaningful – whether to feed the nation, provide hospitals with ventilators or research a vaccine – a true purpose contributes to societal wellbeing.
“ Sarah Rozenthuler’s book, ‘Powered by Purpose: Energise your people to do great work’, is an excellent thought leadership publication that clearly informs business as to how they can engage employees through developing a sense of purpose.”
