Passion sparked by meaning and fairness

pp_default1

Meaning and fairness are amongst the key drivers of employee passion for work.

The Blanchard study, Employee Passion – The New Rules of Engagement reveals eight key factors that influence employee passion:

1. Meaningful work – people feel their work is worthwhile and connected to a larger purpose.

2. Collaboration – an environment where motivation and inspiration are prevalent, and where people work together to succeed.

3. Fairness – the organisation itself and leaders within the organisation treat both the employee and the customer fairly and just.

4. Autonomy – management style is collaborative and participative.

5. Recognition – people are praised and appreciated.

6. Growth – opportunities exist for people to learn and grow professionally, developing skills that lead to advancement.

7. Connectedness with leader – having a solid relationship with one’s leader.

8. Connectedness with colleagues – having a strong relationship with colleagues and co-workers.

Further analysis determined the need for all eight key factors to be present to influence an employee’s commitment to the organisation, their current job, their intent to stay with the current employer, and their intent to recommend the employer to their peers.
