Passion on Purpose
Track: Talent Management
Passion. Not necessarily the personal kind. But an exploratory journey of the passion that intersects with where we make a living. Passion at work. We know it when see it. Authentic leadership. A culture of consistency, connection, camaraderie and caring. Trust. Personal growth and development. Customer loyalty and bottom line business results. The kind of place where everyone wants to work. Where people come first...and profits follow. As we prepare for the next growth cycle our approach to human capital will be transformed. Globalization, commoditization, generational and technological drivers are accelerating change and introducing new challenges to the way we acquire and engage the right talent. Understanding the attitude and expectations of today's workforce is mission critical to build the sustainable talent advantage necessary to win in today's competitive marketplace. Our premise is passion at work occurs most often when the right person, in the right job is supported through very intentional and strategic action by an organization. Where leadership is aligned with the mission, vision and values and employees are the ultimate extension of the brand.
