Creating Meaning in the work place

Why is it important to have meaning in the work place? Following the release of the Revised edition of her book co-authored with Lani Morris, Prof. Marjolein Lips-Wiersma responded…

“The quest for meaning is inherent to being human. Therefore, having meaningful work leads to increased wellbeing. But not having meaningful work or having meaning taken away from us, leads to loss of wellbeing. From an organisational perspective, when employees experience meaning, they are loyal, committed, engaged and creative.” – Prof. Marjolein Lips-Wiersma
