A Culture Of ‘Paycheck’
Or A Culture Of
‘Purpose’?
According to Gallup, nearly two-thirds of
American workers are not engaged
By Dudley R Slater
“Change from a culture of
‘paycheck’ to a culture of
‘purpose,’” admonishes Jim
Clifton, Chairman and CEO of
The Gallup Organization in his
introduction to Gallup’s annual
State of The American Workplace
Report, released prior to the
pandemic.
Once again (for over 20 years now)
Gallup is reporting that 2/3rds
of America’s workers are not
engaged. That’s tragic! Imagine
the social progress being delayed
by this horrible fact. Imagine the
life-saving drugs that are not
being developed. Imagine the new
sources of clean energy that are
being delayed. Imagine how much
better our world would be, if we
(collectively) focused our energies
on reversing this trend.
So what is “a culture of purpose?”
And, how does that differ from “a
culture of paycheck?”
