The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Innovation
summary
Panel claims company purpose raises engagement, retention and measurable performance: a German study finds ~60% of employees don't know their company purpose, and misalignment predicts churn. Examples: JetBrains shifts from develop with pleasure to the drive to develop and cites building developer tooling (even the language behind Duolingo) as impact; one HR team builds a culture decoder to map mission→values→hiring. Practices that work: weekly one‑on‑ones, continuous feedback, and handling a dispersed workforce where 36% remote requires extra video and travel.
