LAHORE, PAKISTAN – November 11, 2024 – Tazeen Shahid, Chief People Officer at Jazz, recently took to LinkedIn to share her thoughts on the importance of passion and purpose in the workplace. In her post, Shahid highlighted the crucial role passion plays in driving extraordinary achievements, not just for individuals but also for organizations.
“No extraordinary achievement is possible without passion,” Shahid wrote. “When we look at the great changemakers and visionaries, it’s passion that sets them apart – a commitment to something bigger than themselves.”
Shahid emphasized that organizations must cultivate this passion within their employees to foster a sense of pride and purpose. She warned against purely transactional relationships with employees, which can stifle innovation, resilience, and commitment.
“If a company doesn’t evoke pride and purpose, it risks a purely transactional relationship with its employees,” Shahid explained. “And with transactions, the spark for innovation, resilience, and commitment can all fall flat.”
Shahid further elaborated on how Jazz fosters a sense of shared purpose amongst its employees. She highlighted the company’s slogan, “Hum Jazz Hain” (“We Are Jazz”), as a collective promise to improve lives and livelihoods through technology.
“That’s why at Jazz, ‘Hum Jazz Hain’—We Are Jazz—isn’t just a slogan; it’s a collective promise to improve lives and livelihoods through technology, with a vision for a thriving Pakistan and empowered youth,” Shahid shared.
She concluded her post by emphasizing the company’s commitment to creating a workplace that fosters collaboration, inspires creativity, and celebrates every contribution towards a brighter future.
