In Renew Your Purpose, a previous Truvelop User Community Lunch and Learn, our audience considered their “why.” When people feel valued and like they are making an impact, they are going to feel better about their role and where they work. With retention continuing to be a priority, this is a crucial area for Managers to focus on. During the Lunch and Learn, Managers were walked through various exercises that they can leverage to renew their personal purpose while also renewing Team Member commitment to the organization and their mission, vision, and values. Below is a summary of a couple of the exercises:
IKIGAI: Ikigai means “a reason for being.” In this exercise, individuals or teams are prompted to find the connection between what they love, what they’re good at, what they can get paid for, and what the world needs. This is a great exercise for highlighting what employees are bringing to the table and emphasizing just how important their work is.
Expressing Gratitude: What makes your organization special? Why should employees want to stay? By expressing what they like most about their organization, employees are renewing their commitment and buy-in to the organizational mission and values. Encourage your team to share what they are grateful for and what they appreciate most about their role/team/purpose.
IDPs: As we come up on year-end, updating your IDP or having your team update their IDPs can be a great way to renew commitment and refresh their “why”. By outlining their aspirations and connecting their professional goals to organizational goals, they can feel supported, aligned, and valued.
