What is Meaningful?

The work you're doing is connected to outcomes that genuinely matter — to people, to the organization, or to the world in some broader sense. This meaning is what separates a job from a vocation. When your work is meaningful, even the hard days have a reason behind them.

When you might feel meaningful

Meaningful is a specific form of impactful, which itself is a type of accomplished. You might experience this feeling in situations where accomplished is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define meaningful.
