✨"Companies who want to win the war for the best talent need to go beyond giving them just ‘services’ and ‘experiences’. They need to be in the personal transformation business."✨ According to this fascinating Forbes article by Afdhel Aziz (He/Him) many companies today are focusing on a new kind of EVP: "helping their employees achieve ‘self-transcendence’ and become the best versions of themselves." Afdhel sets out how organizations are starting to see that investing in the holistic development of their people is not just a nice to have, but essential for future growth. The article highlights how forward-thinking leaders are shifting their focus from traditional engagement tactics to transformative approaches that prioritize personal and professional growth, aligning employee aspirations with organizational goals. This shift is driven by the understanding that people are no longer motivated solely by material incentives or career advancement (even though we need to be careful not to disregard these). People are after purpose, continuous learning, and the ability to make a meaningful contribution. Whatever that means to them. A key takeaway for me is the growth of personal development programs with a strong focus on Self-Leadership as a starting point. By investing in tailored learning opportunities that empower employees to acquire new skills and adapt to technological advancements, companies are in turn fostering a culture of innovation. Interestingly, the article underscores the importance of workplaces facilitating people's emotional and psychological wellbeing – which aligns neatly with the Workplace Sustainability framework John Chan, Ph.D. and I use at Infinite Potential. Through focusing on human-centered leadership, leaders are encouraged to cultivate environments where empathy and support are key. This holistic approach to employee engagement ensures a more dynamic, resilient, and committed workforce. As someone with a strong spirituality, grounded in Buddhist meditation techniques, the idea of self-transcendence at work feels both exciting, and like a bit of a stretch. I'm curious: what do you think? Is this a fleeting trend, or the future of a strong EVP? Thanks for putting this on my radar, Evelyn Doyle! #burnoutprevention #wellbeing #transformation #spirituality #infinitepotential #humanleadership https://lnkd.in/grFG9bzK
