For some of us work at times starts to feel repetitive and mundane. We’re prying ourselves out of bed most days, dreading heading into the office because we’d rather be on a beach enjoying life opposed to dealing with the pressures of completing large projects. It is said that only one in eight workers are psychologically committed to their jobs. This means that only one in eight workers are making positive contributions to the organizations they work for. A lot of us assume that in order for us to find purpose it has to be outside of the workplace, which is why we often find ourselves discouraged and unmotivated daily. What if we were to change the narrative when it comes to living a purposeful life? The first step in doing this is discovering a list of ways to begin viewing our purpose in the workplace differently. You do this by returning to why you started. Find a joy in your day to day efforts and contributions. The longer you’re working, the harder it becomes to stay positive and purpose driven, but it doesn’t take much to get you back on track with what drives purpose for you.

We’re very aware that you don’t start out as one of the top places to work. There are a lot of changes, mistakes and sacrifices that occur in order to be awarded with such a prestigious honor.

Come and Go: Wiederholt calls the Financial District space a cross between an apartment and an office. With its large kitchen, brick and metal walls and lounge, it has a casual feel.
