Exploring other career options?
According to recent statistics, 70% of the workforce is actively looking for a job change. That’s a HUGE number!
For managers, luckily before an employee starts an active job search, there are subtle signs of disengagement:
Change in attitude - negativity, critical of the team/company/position
Change in activity - reduced productivity, different work habits
Breakdown in communication and/or relationships
Apparent complacency, lack of enthusiasm, waning commitment, withdrawn
If you are a leader and are beginning to notice any of these behaviors, don’t delay! Have a conversation with your employee immediately. Share some of the behaviors you have noticed and inquire as to “what’s up?” You may also ask if they feel they are adding value, what do they need at work, what are their growth plans?
On the flipside, if you are the person exploring other career options, I’m speaking on a career panel Tuesday, November 16 to support women who are in a job search, contemplating a career change, or feeling burnout from work/family demands of the past 18 months. You can learn more and sign up here.
Warmly,
