Abstract: The article explores the distinction between organizational "purpose" and individual "meaning" in the workplace, drawing on research to demonstrate the critical importance of fostering meaningful work experiences for employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention. While a clear organizational purpose provides strategic direction, the article argues that the daily experience of meaningful work - through tangible impact, socially valuable contributions, and personal growth opportunities - is an even more powerful motivator. The article outlines practical strategies for leaders across for-profit, nonprofit, and government sectors to cultivate meaningful work, including clarifying social impact, promoting autonomy, facilitating career development, and measuring meaning alongside traditional metrics. The article concludes that organizations able to provide both a strong sense of purpose and genuinely meaningful daily work will be best positioned to attract and retain top talent in today's competitive job market.
