The lifetime employment relationship no longer exists. Successful employers understand their employees’ career objectives and align work with both organizational and employee goals.
Your employees operate in multiple spheres of relationships. Recognizing these spheres – family, friends, community and work; and promoting work as complementary to the others, provides meaning and engages employees in work as a core part of their lives.
Meaningful work, career and personal development, organizational success, and purpose all matter. Like any successful relationship, employers and their employees thrive when both parties benefit. A clearly stated value proposition is the foundation for a flourishing relationship.
