Why Are We Here?
Creating A Work Culture Everyone Wants
“Jennifer Moss brings clarity to the complex question of purpose at work. This book is essential for leaders committed to building cultures of meaning and engagement.”
Jon Clifton, Gallup CEO
Addressing the future of work in three parts:
Part 1. The Foundation of Work Culture: A collective existential crisis left many feeling hopeless, lonely and lost. Jennifer suggests a new scaffolding for work culture – one that is based on hope, purpose, and community.
Part 2. Big New Challenges Facing Leaders: An unprecedented shift rendered existing frameworks obsolete. From AI anxiety to the remote/hybrid challenge to generational divides – this is a new future of work. And, it’s why we need a novel approach rooted in compassion, freedom and openness.
Part 3. The Collective - The Changing Needs of Employees: It will be impossible to reach our shared goals if we can’t come together. But current DEI strategies aren’t working. Jennifer offers a new, more successful strategic approach to belonging and recognition.
A deeply human exploration of how our relationship with work has evolved—and a guide for leaders who aim to make things right.
Work has recently undergone profound changes, not all for the better.
As AI accelerates at a rapid pace, worker fears and uncertainties are reaching new heights. DEI initiatives are underfunded or cancelled. The debate over remote, hybrid, and in-person work is growing more heated, and women continue to leave the workforce in significant numbers.
All the while, workers have been re-examining their relationship with work, asking themselves, “Why are we here?”
In Why Are We Here?, workplace expert Jennifer Moss, author of The Burnout Epidemic, takes readers to the front lines of this historic shift. Through extensive interviews, she uncovers why work has changed and highlights the leaders and organizations getting it right.
Packed with fresh insights, new research, and compelling stories, Why Are We Here? illuminates this turbulent time in history, offering inspiration and practical guidance for leaders navigating our complex, ever-changing world.
