According to this survey, more than 66% of workers describe their jobs as a source of “personal fulfilment.”
Wow, that’s fairly remarkable.
But just when you think you’re getting somewhere on this whole engagement thing, they hit you with: “the survey also confirmed that work remains simply a way of making a living for many people. Half (51%) said their work was ‘a means to an end’.”
And……we’re back where we started.
So while work can be fulfilling, most people would also rather be doing something else. I guess that rings pretty true. What do you think?

Maybe the answer is in the social interaction that people gain the personal fulfilment rather than the work itself?

It is better when you can combine both sides of a job: the financial one and the social one, but often this thing does not happen.
