Identify what you want from work

If the great resignation is a thing, what on earth has made people want to move on?
What is missing?

According to Harvard Business Review (HBR), in March 2021, 47 million people
resigned from their work in the US. Incredible isn’t it.

In the professional services and sales space, the average tenure of a sales rep
is down to little more than a year and a half.

Research from endless polls on LinkedIn and other platforms suggest a
contributing factor to people moving on so easily and quickly is the lack of
workplace development and workplace support.

So it’s a good time isn’t it to think about your workplace or business and
think about what do you really want to gain? Why do you do what you do?
Now, salary notwithstanding, there will be greater purpose to your work than
just getting paid. We spend at least a third of our adult waking lives in the
workplace so there has to be a greater driver than simply getting the pay
check at the end of the month?

Did you know there could very well be four generations working in the same
workplace today? Baby boomers, gen x, millennials, gen z and soon to be
generation alpha. Each generation has their own workplace drivers and
expectations (must be in the office to be at work, recognised by company
cars, better salaries vs remoter working and choosing employers based on
values).

Does your workplace or business allow you to explore what is is that
drives you? What is missing for you currently and what would good
look like? Use this time to explore
