Elodie Chevallier, Founder
Since 2004, I have been working in human resources, holding various strategic and operational roles in both public and private organizations. These experiences have taught me how to navigate the complexity of the HR function, balancing performance requirements with the human realities on the ground.
It was by listening to the stories of employees I supported that I realized most workplace dissatisfaction stemmed from a lack of meaning. In 2010, I began scientific research at a Canadian university on the meaning of work to better understand what truly engages people and transforms workplace cultures. I developed collaborations with several researchers and research centers in France and Canada to document the evolution of work and equip HR professionals with the right tools.
In 2018, I founded The meaning of work to bring this knowledge, network, and intercultural wealth to those who want to make a difference.
