#48 Why Salary Isn’t Enough: How Purpose and Meaning Drive Long-Term Employee Retention
The latest Hays Salary Guide reveals a deeper story: while competitive pay and great conditions are essential, they’re no longer enough to keep top talent engaged long-term. Employees are searching for something more—a sense of meaning, purpose, and emotional investment in the mission of the organisation.
In this episode of The Exceptional Leadership Podcast, we explore why leaders must go beyond pay and perks to inspire their teams. Discover how to craft a compelling narrative around your organisation’s vision, connect people to a higher purpose, and create a culture where employees don’t just work for a salary—they stay because they feel part of something bigger.
Whether you’re a business owner, executive, or manager, this episode will help you understand how to lead with purpose and unlock true employee loyalty.
