The latest Gallup State of the Workplace report indicates that employees are leaving their jobs at the highest rate since 2015, a phenomenon termed 'The Great Detachment.' This trend is largely fueled by dissatisfaction with management practices, as employees prioritize well-being and recognition. With the rise of Gen Z, who make up 27% of the workforce, there is an urgent need for managers to adopt more engaging and supportive methods. Companies must upskill their management to retain talent and ensure organizational success, as higher employee engagement correlates with increased profitability.
A key reason for this is increasing employee dissatisfaction with management. For instance, Gallup's research shows that those who work in companies with bad management practices are nearly 60% more likely to be stressed.
This generation wants to be coached, not directed, and if they don't feel that they're progressing or that their employer wants to cultivate them, they'll simply leave.
Companies need to upskill their middle managers urgently to keep employees engaged and stop hemorrhaging talent. After all, talent is critical for success.
If you're losing your top talent to your competitors and suspect poor management may be a cause, here are three things to do.
