About this course
Many managers have met it: people who are disinterested, who no longer ask questions, and a team that feels somehow flat. Behind it often lies a common denominator between health, happiness and motivation. When people believe their work is meaningless to the world around them, all three suffer together.
This course explores meaningfulness as a fundamental human need that affects everything else when it is unmet - energy and stress, whether work feels like a burden or an opportunity, and whether the spark is still there. It brings together two perspectives in one course: the personal meaning and motivation people find in their work, and the contribution the company makes to people and society.
What the course explores
- The link between meaningful work, health, happiness and motivation
- What happens to people and teams when work feels meaningless
- Personal meaning and motivation at work

- Ways leaders can integrate meaningfulness into everyday work
Intended takeaway
Explore how work can connect personal meaning and motivation with a company’s contribution to people and society.
