Linked – Engaged Employees are Experiencing Burnout
This is not what I would have expected to hear from “engaged” employees.
“Almost 1 of 5 of employees in the study were “highly engaged” but were experiencing exhaustion. A third of employees were moderately engaged and exhausted. Despite feeling dedicated to their work, these individuals experienced frustration, stress, and indifference. They also consider leaving their workplace.”
So are we finding the folks who are really engaged with their work, and then working them to death while the less engaged ones go home? At least in 20-33% of cases it does appear that way.
Maybe we should figure out some other way to manage our teams?
