Key takeaways
1: The intersection of purpose and vitality
People with a strong sense of purpose have significantly higher vitality than those who do not. They are five times more likely to say they feel energized (63% vs. 13%), and nearly three times as likely to look forward to each new day (86% vs. 31%).
2: Purpose is linked with better health
Individuals with strong purpose are more likely to practice healthy habits and consistently seek preventive care, which can lead to better overall health outcomes.
3: Workers with purpose boost a business’s bottom line
Although workers with a strong sense of purpose feel the same degree of job pressure and demands as those without, they are significantly less likely to report feeling burned out or that they are considering leaving their job. This type of work resilience can yield significant savings for employers.
