Often, we forget that empowered people drive effective leadership, high-performance teams, social capital, brand reputation, and organizational excellence.

The pace of change that the world is experiencing is fast and furious; paradigm shift, a global pandemic, digitization, organizational agility, increased competition, innovation, and globalization. The changes force a greater dependency on international virtual organizations, cross-functional agile delivery teams, work-life-faith integration, and exceptional employee experience throughout the customer journey. 

There is a greater focus on strategic partnerships, critical relationships, cross-functional connectivity, collaboration, lean processes, and agile operations. Additionally, work-life-faith integration and workplace wellness have become aggressively sought goals in many people's life, careers, meaning, fulfillment, and definition of effectiveness and purpose.

The organizational development strategy must focus on personal empowerment and life transformation as critical components of human capital, talent management, retention, employee engagement, satisfaction, and experience.

Purpose-driven organizations with servant leadership culture, an active corporate social responsibility mandate, and a vested and genuine interest in people's well-being, their employees, customers, community care, and social causes are the ones who thrive and remain competitive. 

They will continue consistently:

  • Retain and develop talented, engaged, happy, healthy, and productive employees.

  • Attract and are more favored for investments.

  • Have more satisfied, loyal, lifetime customers. 

With the blurring of work-life-faith, organizations must build and nurture a trusted culture and creative mindset, with people-focused leadership, a family-friendly workplace, and organizational resilience to embrace transformation and innovation.

Why; because influential leaders understand that their employees are the cornerstone of their business success; therefore, they invest in:

  • workplace wellness,

  • happiness, 

  • empowerment, 

  • engagement, 

  • resilience, 

  • mental health awareness,

  • stress management, and

  • healthy organizational culture.

These positively impact an organization's performance, productivity, effectiveness, and profitability in a rapidly evolving future.
