Pioneer Operating Budget

A recent article by McKinsey & Company noted that nearly two thirds of US-based employees who were surveyed said that COVID-19 has caused them to reflect on their purpose in life. Nearly half said that they’re reconsidering the kind of work they do because of the pandemic. The research stated that people who live their purpose at work are more productive than people who don’t. They’re also healthier, more resilient, and more likely to stay with the company.
