Thank you, Pete Dulin, for including me in this article describing the important opportunities to reverse the emerging trend of employee detachment. The article cites a recent study by Gallup and says: "Employee turnover may have slowed, but productivity has dropped and pressure for future loss of talent builds once conditions change. Workers feel detached from their work, presenting both a downside for the employee and employer. As Gallup pointed out, 'organizational change initiatives are likely to meet indifference or resistance.'" The R.E.A.L. effects of declining organizational trust include the loss of Revenue, Engagement, Advocacy, and Loyalty. Thankfully, there are evidence-based strategies that can reverse the trend. #BuildTrust #TrustProposition

What is the Great Detachment and how does it differ from the Great Resignation shift that occurred several years ago during the pandemic and in its wake? What can employers, leaders, and managers do to counter this trend? Investing in soft skills training to develop leaders, managers, and employees can help reengagement. https://lnkd.in/gWZJY7qi
