Employees around the world choose, stay with, and give their best to organizations when they feel connected to a collective purpose. To find and make the most of this talent, companies need to be good at five disciplines: strategic hiring, zero tolerance for people who violate their ethics, a focus on potential, alignment of HR processes, and values-based succession at the top.
