Purpose

One of the very few positive outcomes to emerge from the coronavirus epidemic in 2020 was the huge shift in people’s attitude to their working life. The positives were two-fold. Firstly, people reappraised why their job was important to them, and whether it was worth the increased perception of risk that may have entered their day-to-day working life. Suddenly, for the waitress or the police officer, the heightened exposure to a virus, and everything else that came with the job, may have come into much sharper focus. Maybe it made them appreciate their job more; maybe it made them think it wasn’t worth the risk and quit.
