Leeatt Rothschild is the founder and CEO of Packed with Purpose, an organization dedicated to curating gifts with meaningful impact. She is an expert in employee engagement and an advocate for building human connections in business settings. She joins Steve Pemberton to talk about her company’s objectives and share tips for businesses on how they can express gratitude to their employees.

The Mission

Packed with Purpose is a corporate gifting company on a social mission to create impact by helping organizations and individuals give meaningful gifts to their employees, clients, partners, etc. Each product in their gift boxes comes from a purpose-driven company or social enterprise. Leatt launched Packed with Purpose when she realized that they could impact numerous different communities by sourcing products primarily from the US. Also, recipients of gifts curated by Packed with Purpose are impacted by receiving a gift.

COVID-19’s Impact

Steve asks Leeatt how her company has been affected by the pandemic. Business has increased exponentially during COVID, she reports. More and more companies are seeing the need to express their gratitude to their employees for their continued hard work and productivity despite the challenging circumstances. The silver lining in the pandemic for her company, she says, is being part of an opportunity to do good and connect with other people.

Moving Forward

Steve and Leeatt discuss tips and things for companies to consider when moving forward during and post-pandemic. Due to COVID, people have been forced to work remotely, something previously thought impossible. Leeatt shares ways for employers to keep employee engagement up as well as convey gratitude to employees: part of doing so is expression and the other part is action. The pandemic has also provided a great opportunity for companies and employees to think about their work culture and decide whether it’s a right fit.
