The Washington Post has a piece that makes me smile….
Essentially ?
People back to work from the pandemic of 2 years have slowed their roll at work….
Why?
I’d think there are many reasons….
They mostly from 2 years of the Covid stand down, which HAS changed things ….
They just ain’t commuting to work….
They are working from home….
After a slower work schedule during the pandemic?
Some are probably thinking…..WTF would they want to knock themselves out?
A LOT of people decided they did NOT like their job….
Struggling companies cut back worker pay while hiking prices for consumers…
The pandemic made workers put other things ahead of the boss and the company
It’s the fall….
Less Covid, but kids are back in school and colds , RSV and other illness are taking away form work time….
Leaders are under heightened pressure to boost employee performance as firms try to establish a post-pandemic normal, said Kathy Kacher, founder of Career/Life Alliance Services, who advises corporate executives.
“The leaders are not seeing what they want, and they’re starting to get anxious,” Kacher said.
Many employers have started using software to track employee activity. But Nadella has argued that the technology can have a deleterious effect on trust and employee engagement.
“Ultimately, for the business, these tools are about really helping their employees thrive,” Nadella told Bloomberg News in September. “The only way a business is successful and productive is if employees feel that sense of empowerment, that sense of energy and connection for the company’s mission and are doing meaningful work.”
