IRVINE, Calif.–Why are workers at some many organizations unhappy? A new study offers some insights.
According to the study conducted by Bastion Transform, a part of Bastion Agency, 36% of workers surveyed report a high level of satisfaction in their current roles, “while a staggering 55% express skepticism about their company's willingness and capability to meet their needs in the future.”
The company noted that since the start of the pandemic, businesses have continued to grapple with challenges, including the so-called “great resignation,” "quiet quitting” and “loud quitting,” with businesses struggling to attract and retain the talent necessary for growth, all taking place during the rise of artificial intelligence.
According to Bastion Transform, as myths surrounding remote work and effective collaboration were debunked, deeper issues within organizations surfaced, compelling individuals to take a deeper look at their relationship with work and prioritize personal well-being.
The Findings
Bastion Transform said its research further found:
- 39% of employees feel their contributions are not being acknowledged
- 36% have not engaged with their employers regarding their professional development.
- 38%) perceive their companies as ill-equipped to navigate change swiftly.
Three Engagement Strategies
In response, Bastion Transform said it has identified three pivotal aspects crucial for employee engagement and productivity, including:
- Clarity. “Employees yearn for clarity in purpose, strategy, and roles.” Bastion Transform said it emphasizes the importance of leaders clearly articulating the company's purpose beyond profit, its strategic direction, and individual responsibilities. “Without this clarity, dissatisfaction and disengagement can proliferate.”
- Empowerment. “Empowered employees drive productivity.” The company said programs should focus on team design, outcomes-oriented approaches, and cultivating trust. “These elements foster a culture of responsibility, problem-solving, and innovation.”
- Mindset. “In a rapidly evolving landscape, fostering a growth mindset is essential,” Bastion said. “Acknowledging change, embracing it as an opportunity, and setting standards and practices that encourage positive thinking are integral to maintaining a motivated workforce.”
