Let’s cut to the chase – people are leaving, or have the intention to leave, the corporate space faster than ever before.

They’re unfulfilled.

Disengaged.

Checked out.

Overwhelmed and thinking

SURELY THERE’S MORE TO LIFE?!

Take someone in this mindset ^ and have them open up tiktok or instagram and they’re suddenly inundated with promises of the laptop lifestyle sipping cocktails in Bali and working a 4 hour work week and of course it’s going to sound enticing, right?

Pretty hard to compete with those promises as an employer in the corporate world.

So the question begs, if nothing changes within the corporate world are we running the risk of having all the talent escape to tropical islands to work for themselves?

You’re probably thinking, well I cant control what people choose to do with their lives and it doesn’t affect me – but you can, and it does!

The impact on the corporate sector is; higher turn over rates, decrease in productivity, people rocking up to work to do the bare minimum while they’re day dreaming of their side hustle taking off.

Times have changed. To keep good talent, something has got to give.

So, how do you retain the employees that show those same characteristics of a brilliant entrepreneur? The drive, courage, commitment, passion and enthusiasm?

Well, you need to 1. provide opportunities for that skillset to be forged and strengthened and 2. provide clear pathways of progression with adequate support and encouragement.

Because the reality is that one third of Australian workers aren’t committed to their current jobs.

And really, can you blame them?

The norm within most companies these days is a calendar bursting with meetings that could have been emails, where employees are sitting there scratching their heads wondering, ‘am I adding value and am I really needed?’, ‘whats the point of putting forward my ideas when I know they won’t be heard,’. It’s not a stretch to put yourself in their shoes and become aware of how under valued and overwhelmed the everyday worker is these days.

And if not in a state of complete overwhelm, it’s a state of complete auto pilot. Declaring things such as, ‘living the dream’, with the sarcastic undertone of ‘please someone save me from this persistent ground hog day’.

Something has got to give.

And we get it!

If you’re a leader of a team filled with individuals that are operating like this ^ , it’s easy to feel completely disheartened and at a loss of how to reinvigorate and essentially resuscitate your team members back to the vibrant enthusiasm they had on day one.

We’re passionate about transforming workplace culture so that a company is not only getting the best from their employees but the individual is getting the most out of their life.

Below are our top 6 ways to breathe life back into your team and workplace as a leader:

1. Cultivate a Culture of Recognition and Appreciation: Acknowledging and celebrating the efforts and achievements of your team members can go a long way in boosting morale and fostering a sense of value. Implementing regular recognition programs or shout-outs during team meetings, can make individuals feel seen and appreciated for their contributions.
2. Encourage Open Communication and Feedback: Create a safe space where employees feel comfortable expressing their ideas, concerns, and feedback. Actively listen to their input and take their suggestions seriously. Constructive feedback should be welcomed and used as an opportunity for growth and improvement, both for the individual and the team as a whole.
3. Provide Opportunities for Growth and Development: Invest in your employees’ professional development by offering training programs, workshops, and opportunities for advancement. Clearly define career pathways within the organisation and provide the necessary support and resources for employees to progress in their roles. Encourage continuous learning and skill development to keep your team engaged and motivated.
4. Promote Work-Life Balance: Recognise the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life. Encourage employees to take breaks, prioritize self-care, and set boundaries to prevent burnout. Implement flexible work arrangements, such as remote work options or flexible hours, to accommodate individual needs and promote overall well-being.
5. Lead by Example: As a leader, your actions set the tone for the entire team. Lead with integrity, transparency, and empathy. Demonstrate a genuine passion for the work and a commitment to the organisation’s values. Be approachable, supportive, and willing to roll up your sleeves and work alongside your team members. Your authenticity and dedication will inspire others to do the same.
6. Reignite fun back into the workplace:

   When did corporate get so boring? At the end of the day, we are all human with unique personalities and interests. Workplaces need to encourage people to show up as all of them to reignite the passion and enthusiasm for what they are doing. Less promotion of a calculated and specific 9-5 personality and more encouragement of authenticity and individual quirks.

By implementing these strategies, you can breathe new life into your team and create a corporate culture that fosters passion, engagement, and fulfilment. Investing in your employees’ well-being and professional growth not only benefits the individual but also contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of your organisation.
