Viktor Frankl presents his experiences as a prisoner in a Nazi camp during World War II.
He describes how finding a purpose in life helped him cope.
.
Life today is obviously very different than it was back then.
Yet, the pursuit of meaning and purpose in life remains unchanged.
.
Creating an impact in life is something most people strive for.
It has become even more significant in the Post-Covid era.
.
Some people are looking to have a large-scale impact, such as by developing a sustainable lifestyle, inventing an autonomous vehicle, or designing a medical robot that can save lives.
.
Others wish to make an impact in a smaller circle, even through a smile or a small gesture. The impact is not any less important.
In fact, it can make a difference in someone's life, even if you didn't expect it.
.
Whatever the case may be, people are constantly searching for meaning and purpose in their lives -- and this includes the WORKPLACE.
.
Furthermore, employees [=people] are increasingly striving to bring their *authentic selves* to work.
.
Based on the Gartner 2021 Hybrid and Return to Work Survey, this hypothesis is supported.
The results of the survey indicate that people's feelings about their work and working place are part of a larger human story that they are questioning.
.
This phenomenon is called the “Great Reflection", which means people are developing a new sense of self-awareness and worth, and they wish for their workplace to reflect this.
.

.
As we all know, every organization's Strategic Plan includes goals that cannot be achieved without its people.
.
People are the first and foremost part of any organization.
When employees feel valued and feel like they are making a difference, they are motivated.

Those employers who know how to deliver this *Value Proposition* to employees,
provide a secure and resilient workplace,
along with respecting employees' aspirations --
create a win-win situation.

That's the whole story.
.
Today we have the opportunity to leverage technology [like #AI] in order to make organizations more human and provide value to employees.
.
An organization or manager who creates this environment for people, no longer has to worry about the employees' search for meaning.
