Providing employees opportunities to lead mentoring sessions at work or having recreational activities and team-building activities for optimum work-life balance during working hours can also help boost productivity levels and ultimately translate into growth, since passionate workers enjoy new challenges that provide them with chances to better themselves.
These team building activities can include “Amazing Race”, or an annual company family and sports day, or a dinner and dance. Should these activities take place after working hours, attendance should be made optional as a sign that companies are respectful of their employees’ work-life boundaries.
Some companies also have monthly town hall “Ask Me Anything” sessions to allow employees to share their thoughts and concerns anonymously, which are then addressed by the executive team directly. It is through outlets like these where meaningful connections and trust is fostered between both employers and employees.
EMPOWERING MANAGERS
Getting rid of quiet quitting or the Great Resignation isn’t just in the hands of the leadership team. In between the leadership and the employees are the team managers, who are critical in cascading the passion down the organisation.
Multiple studies have shown that a positive and passionate workplace that gives employees the opportunity to take charge of their career development has a greater tendency to establish a stronger career persistence, thereby reducing the number of quiet quitters.
Managers can start by having employee recognition strategies, through acknowledging and rewarding employees for standout work. By doing so, managers can show their staff that what they do matters to the organisation. In addition, employees who receive visibility and acknowledgment are less likely to fade into the background.
