In agencies where employee work passion is high, people willingly exert discretionary effort. They talk positively about the organization to friends and family. They support their colleagues without it being a required part of their job. They are loyal. They intend to stay, perform well, and inspire others.

Employees who have work passion generally have:

  • A sense of meaning beyond simply making a salary
  • The autonomy and flexibility to give their all at work
  • Opportunities for growth, collaboration, and feedback
  • A sense of connectedness to their managers and colleague

Join The Ken Blanchard Companies for a complimentary webinar and online chat beginning today at 12:00 noon Eastern (9:00 a.m. Pacific Time).
