ABSTRACT
Employees today want to know how the work they are doing will ultimately make the world a better place. This is a far cry from when one first started in the workplace. Back then we had two purposes: make money and score a corner office. Employees at all levels of the organization are seeking to improve their skills and take on more interesting work. Leaders who learn how to provide clear expectations and honest feedback are able to create a culture of connection that defies the laws of gravity. Some people believe money does not matter. Those are usually the people who have enough money and then some. The cost of living is astronomical in many cities, and some companies are not moving their pay structures fast enough to keep up with what people need to make in order to survive.
