(NOTE: This is not an event about finding a job or for networking. This will be a small group discussion for people looking to to transform their workplaces and bring a greater sense of meaning into corporate culture. Please come ready to contribute!).
- A job is something you do to get money.
- A career is something you invest in, are deliberate about, and is important to you.
- A calling truly resonates with the core of who you are and lends meaning to your life.
April’s NI-SF monthly gathering will be a smaller-group, unconference-format discussion on how to create a sea-change in our corporate culture. As more and more millennials are entering the workforce, they’re looking for more than jobs. They’re looking for workplaces that connect with their values, allow them to be creative, and make them happy. At the same time, folks at the cutting edge of HR and organization design have largely stopped thinking about companies as big machines that need to be optimized and tuned… but rather as social groups of people that have distinct cultures and norms.
As an institution looking to attract and retain people, do you now need to help your employees find their calling at work?If so, how?
As individuals with a job, how can you connect your day-to-day work with a higher purpose? How can you align professional and personal goals to really thrive?
Don’t expect any silver bullets – but do expect to hear from some inspiring and interesting folks doing their best to be true to themselves.
