At
one level, it’s
quite simple –
Most of us choose our job because it has meaning
to us. Being allowed to do meaningful work
can not only improve morale and reduce turnover,
but improve client satisfaction. Yet, transforming
an organization into a meaning-centered organization
is a challenge.
The
Sacred Vocation Program was developed
to provide organizations the opportunity
to maintain high performance while at the
same time creating a meaning-centered work
environment where employees are allowed
to do their work as sacred vocation nurture
a healing culture.
