Companies struggle to keep their employees engaged, leading to higher turnover rates. Business leaders aren't prepared to deliver a work experience that gives employees meaning and purpose at their organizations. Van Valin, an organizational culture consultant and former QVC executive, provides a set of tools to solve those talent problems. He argues that without meaning, there is no engagement, which is why the author's model is based on 11 "amplifiers of meaning," which identify and describe the core purpose that gives work meaning. Van Valin offers specific steps leaders can take to help employees find their purpose within an organization.
