Temkin Group has labelled 2017 The Year of Purpose, so we have been examining the topic of purpose across many different angles.

One of the areas we are interested in is the impact that a person’s level of purpose and meaning has on how they behave as an employee and customer. It turns out that it has a pretty significant impact in both of these areas.

In our latest U.S. consumer benchmark study, we asked a number of questions about people’s attitudes, employee behaviors, and company loyalty. As you can see in the chart below, people who believe that they lead a purposeful and meaningful life are better employees and more loyal customers.

The bottom line: Purposefulness creates positivity across all aspects of life.
