Do Employees Need to Feel that Their Work is Changing the World?

Will Marre thinks so.


My sense is that "employee engagement" that is driven by "a belief that their work is changing the world" puts mere employee satisfaction out of reach of most companies. Most people will only ever view their jobs as jobs - not as missions. In my experience that is okay. There are still a great many benefits to building an employee satisfaction culture. But this academic notion that people have to feel like they are "changing the world" probably inhibits companies from investing in employee satisfaction.
