At Truvelop, we know that change isn’t just manager-driven. Employees have the ability to drive their own experience and create an environment that inspires growth and engagement. That’s why Truvelop sends out monthly Truvelop Tips directly to the employees of each of our clients. Here’s an excerpt from September’s Employee Truvelop Tip: Plan with Purpose.
In a recent survey from McKinsey, they found that 70 percent of employees said that their sense of purpose is defined by their work. Your purpose or your “why” can be ever evolving, but it is a key driver of engagement and motivation in the workplace. Do you know where you stand today?
There are three pieces that go into having a strong sense of purpose: a strong foundational understanding of your role and responsibilities, knowing where you stand today, and having a clear picture of your future with your organization. Below are reflection questions that can drive a proactive conversation with your manager around your sense of purpose.
- A Strong Foundation: Do you have a clear understanding of what is expected of you in your role? Do you feel like you are making an impact? How does your role play a part in the organization’s larger mission, vision, and values?
- Know Where You Stand Today: What is currently going well? What are your current strengths? Is there anything you need support on? Is there anything preventing you from successfully fulfilling your purpose?
- Plan for the Future: Where do you see yourself in 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years? Do you feel like you have the ability to grow with your organization? What do you need to move forward? How can your manager best support your development?
Your experience and development are top priorities for your organization. With proactive communication, you can efficiently grow with your organization, while also strengthening your relationship with your manager and team.
