Are You a Leader That Can Help Employees THRIVE?

8/10/2022

We're back for part three of three in our Leadership Qualities Needed In Today's Work Environment series.

Today, I'm highlighting some key findings from Gallop's State of the Global Workforce 2022 Report. A report committed to “bringing the voices of employees to the decision-making tables.”

So my question for you this week: As a leader, are you helping employees THRIVE?

In the report it states only 21% of workers report they are thriving at work…only 21 percent!

So what’s causing this? It's simple, employee burnout. According to Gallop the 5 main causes that relate to burnout including:

1) Unfair treatment at work 2) Unmanageable workloads 3) Unclear communication from managers 4) Lack of manager support 5) Unreasonable time pressures

Can you relate? Not surprisingly the one thing all five causes have in common: The Boss! Bosses are so impactful that Gallop can predict 70% of the variance in team engagement just by getting to know the boss. Wow!

The good news? We can make a difference and change! Gallop states to have employees thrive - there are 6 things managers need to do consistently:

1) Help them learn and grow 2) Recognize them for doing great work 3) Listen 4) Coach them 5) Collaborate 6) Make them feel truly cared about.

That sounds pretty refreshing to me! It’s not hard. It’s just different from what many managers are doing across the world.

I’ve worked with leaders who understand the importance of thriving cultures and want help getting there. I can tell you for those committed to learning, the results have been amazing. Not only more smiling, but more collaboration, more innovation, and better business outcomes.
