Why do some companies consistently outshine their rivals, attract top talent, and spark innovation while others struggle? Many treat employee relationships like a simple transaction—initial excitement fades, and so does satisfaction. This leaves companies with disengaged teams and high turnover. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll explore how top companies have figured out the key to shifting from a transactional approach to one that treats employment as an enriching experience. Based on prominent psychologist Thomas Gilovich's research, it's clear: investing in experiences, not just tools, boosts satisfaction over time. We dive into the evolution from productivity-driven workplaces to purpose-led organizations that emphasize mutual value exchange, fostering a culture of growth, learning, and leadership. Discover how the employee experience era is redefining the way we think about work.
