How can we combat this scourge of stress and create workplaces that radiate wellness and joy? The key is supportive, human-focused leadership. By prioritizing employee well-being and workplace mental health, supportive leadership can steer companies toward higher employee satisfaction, productivity, and profits.

In their quest to build thriving workforces, HR teams have employed various tactics throughout the years. Compensation, work-life balance, and professional development strategies have all helped enhance employee engagement. Yet increasingly, evidence points to an even more impactful strategy: the cultivation of workplace purpose.

While traditional models emphasize a compliance-based “have-to-do” approach, at WorkProud, we advocate for a “want-to-do” model – inspired by employee pride. This model isn’t merely theoretical; independent research and data reveals that companies where employees indicate high levels of individual work and company pride show turnover rates 40% lower than their less prideful counterparts.
