According to a recent report, 74% of Australian workers believe that now is a good time to change jobs, compared to 52% globally. Additionally, only 25% of workers feel engaged or committed to their company's goals. Factors such as high levels of stress, bullying, harassment, and discrimination contribute to these sentiments. The report emphasizes the importance of engagement, as engaged employees are more likely to find work meaningful and feel connected to their team, manager, and employer. It suggests that clear and effective leadership is crucial in reducing job dissatisfaction, disengagement, and burnout. Autonomy, work variety, coaching and feedback, growth opportunities, social support, and supportive coworkers are identified as factors that improve engagement. Outdated leadership styles, such as the belief that managers must physically see their employees in the office to know they are working, are discouraged. The report also highlights the significance of employee wellbeing and mental health, as a significant number of Australian workers report stress, anger, and sadness. Burnout is prevalent among employees, and they desire better work-life balance, more hiring, and flexible work arrangements. Organizations should provide growth opportunities, meaningful work, fair pay and benefits, and foster a positive company culture. Best-practice initiatives have been shown to significantly improve employee engagement levels. [Extracted from the article] |
