“When I go into the garden with a spade, and dig a bed, I feel such an exhilaration and health that I discover that I have been defrauding myself all this time in letting others do for me what I should have done with my own hands.”

You’ll discover how to identify causes, design retention solutions that tackle them, measure the ROI of your retention initiatives, and more.

Bloom Where You Are Planted: Finding Purpose in Your Work & Life
Lisa Edwards, Bloom Consulting, Inc.
Research has demonstrated that employees who are clear about their own values are more committed to the organization, than those who are not, regardless of whether they are aware of the organization’s values. Likewise, we have found that people who are clear about their talents and strengths; and, have articulated a personal mission are more likely to feel passionate about and committed to their work. And, when employees feel passionate about their work, they are more likely to stay.
Attend this session to learn how you can fall in love with your own work. Participants will:
-
Identify your top ten natural talents.
-
Clarify how you currently utilize your top five talents in your work.
-
Identify one talent that brings you the most joy and enthusiasm.
-
Learn how you have already been living out your mission in your life.
-
Articulate your personal mission.
-
Identify how your personal mission fits into your role in the organization.
