2. REAFFIRM PURPOSE AND MISSION
Low EQ workplaces o昀琀en focus solely on
performance and pro昀椀ts without recognising
the importance of purpose. Clinically, research
shows that a sense of purpose at work correlates
with improved mental health outcomes, such as
lower rates of anxiety and depression. To foster a
purpose-driven environment:
• Revisit or Refresh the Mission Statement:
Engage employees in de昀椀ning or revisi琀椀ng the
company’s mission, making it more inclusive
and purpose-driven.
• Celebrate Team Achievements: Recognising
milestones and accomplishments can boost
morale and foster a sense of belonging.
• Match Strengths to Roles: Understanding
each individual’s strengths allows for be琀琀er
role alignment, fostering engagement and
reducing burnout.
• Promote Growth and Development: O昀昀er
opportuni琀椀es for skill development and crosstraining, which have been shown to enhance
job sa琀椀sfac琀椀on and reduce turnover.
A workplace that emphasises purpose and
growth creates a suppor琀椀ve environment where
employees feel valued, leading to be琀琀er mental
health and job sa琀椀sfac琀椀on.
