The pandemic has gifted our everyday language with enough ominous phrases, terms, and slogans to last a lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless we think this one, The \u2018Great Resignation\u2019, warrants one more blog post. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fascinating because it comes from a human resistance to what once was, it calls in the era of the empowered employee, demanding more from life, from work and their employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many amongst the workforce have had time &#8211; possibly for the first time since entering the labour market as teens or graduates &#8211; to take stock. What happened when they had time and breathing space to think was they realised they don\u2019t actually want \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d. They want better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, how are these new desires actually manifesting? Because considering handing in your resignation is clearly different to following through with it. A disaffected workforce on the other hand, is a very real risk that will take company culture- and therefore performance- to a breaking point if not approached with an open mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018Great Resignation\u2019 is an Employee Engagement Crisis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the furlough scheme ended on 30 September 2021, many were worried about what this would mean for the labour market and the economy. Many predicted a jump in unemployment as businesses opted to let their furloughed employees go after a year and a half of Government-subsidised limbo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What many didn\u2019t see coming was that so many people would choose for themselves not to go back. Or that those who worked throughout the pandemic would actually be considering jumping ship alongside almost 5% of the UK workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic triggered an awakening. <\/span>Having more autonomy over their time helped people to appreciate how liberating it was to not be rushing around trying to meet commitments<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Wasn\u2019t it refreshing to not have to choose between work and family? To not feel guilty for not being in two places at once?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from research by Microsoft suggests that upwards of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/worklab\/work-trend-index\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the global workforce is currently looking to hand in their resignation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course this trajectory is not predetermined, and there is undoubtedly privilege attached to it. However, it does speak to a wider cultural shift in mindset about what we feel we deserve, what we cherish, and what we expect, that people from all walks of life can relate to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future of work is no longer a place for everybody, but a space for everybody, with an increased emphasis on the employee experience.- Jennifer Colosimo, President, Enterprise Division, FranklinCovey<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for leaders? This movement could be reframed as <\/span><b>The Great Wake-Up Call<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. An absence of a negative is not automatically a positive; if your people don\u2019t leave, they can still withhold their best efforts, disengage from organisational objectives and become a drain on resources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People typically want to do a great job, and the right thing, most of the time. It is the responsibility of leadership to look inwards and ask why working for them might be at odds with their employee\u2019s priorities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> post-pandemic employees want from work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, simply ticking off the working from home option a couple of days a week isn\u2019t going to cut it. Here is our breakdown of what these newly awakened employees really want from work and their leadership teams:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consideration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees today expect their employers to care &#8211; to genuinely care &#8211; about how they are, and about how they can work together to both get the most out of the experience. Employees do not need or want a one-size-fits-all wellbeing policy. Achieving employee wellbeing and engagement is about wanting to respond, wherever practicable and possible, to the needs of the individual&#8230;and not just once they\u2019ve \u201cearned it\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a sign of the changing times, the UK government is currently considering altering employment law to give employees the right to request flexible working from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-58636439?at_custom3=Regional+BBC+London&amp;at_medium=custom7&amp;at_custom1=link&amp;at_campaign=64&amp;at_custom4=B56F5374-1AF1-11EC-BABC-613216F31EAE&amp;at_custom2=facebook_page&amp;fbclid=IwAR0FHN9JSrDvBQam0zEFrYt7uXhawH_G9jgqWgHcfhKEQ_TRWdf9S_Oub_k\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">day one<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of their employment. Why should an employee\u2019s need for consideration be any less important just because their tenure is shorter?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Permission to be unique<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all want to be celebrated for who we are, not moulded into a corporate identikit version of who our employers want us to be. Today\u2019s workforce want to receive recognition of their specific achievements and strengths. This includes feeling seen, having their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/en\/multipliers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skillset recognised and utilised<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> even if they might be outside of a current remit. People want to feel their skills align with their roles. People want to feel encouraged not to hide their light under a proverbial bushel, and this includes having individual aspirations catered to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15595 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/10\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/h1>\n<h3><strong>Confidence in a meaningful work experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees need to feel that they are making a difference, both in terms of understanding the part they play in the business and in the greater community. Working isn\u2019t just about making a living, it *is* living and we all want to make a meaningful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contribution. We all want to see the real life effects of our effort on the bigger picture, and have confidence in the fact the vision for the future bigger picture is both <strong>achievable<\/strong> and <strong>championing of the people<\/strong> who will make it possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The noise today will be a different noise next year, and a different noise the year after. The one thing that won\u2019t ever change is the compass direction that we\u2019ve assigned ourselves as a team.- Tim Threipland, Leadership Practice Director, FranklinCovey UK &amp; Ireland<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workers want to be treated like adults. They want to be trusted and empowered to perform to the best of their ability with an <\/span><b>autonomy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they have become used to this past year and a half. The damage the \u2018hovering boss\u2019 can do to team morale and individual loyalty has never been so pronounced. Great leaders are credible leaders who don&#8217;t placate or control, but intentionally create reciprocal relationships built for collaboration and innovation based in sincerity, transparency and inspiration.\u00a0 Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/en\/2021\/09\/27\/3-things-every-leader-needs-to-know-about-trust-the-1-leadership-competency\/\">three things every leader needs to know about trust<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does this mean for leaders?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaders need to work on developing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/scott-miller\/if-you-want-to-retain-workers-develop-this-new-leadership-competency.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new competencies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to cope with the changing demands of the workforce. In the words of FranklinCovey advisor and senior thought leader Scott Miller, leaders need to learn to exercise \u201c<\/span><b>an unnatural nimbleness to see people, listen to people, adjust to people\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to consider employee engagement in a different way. Approach employee experience just like customer experience &#8211; but with even more emphasis on the relevance to your business\u2019s success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees are at the centre of your business &#8211; your employees and the interactions and experiences they create *are* your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you shift focus from measuring employee engagement to improving employee experience, it reframes how you approach almost every aspect of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/en\/leadership\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leadership and people management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee <em>engagement<\/em> is all about how your employee\u2019s relationship with their job impacts the business.

Commitment to up\/reskilling employees will not only address the growing skills gap but also provide personal development opportunities that keep people feeling like they are worthy of investment and experiencing growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Be a listening and learning organisation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once upon a time, the only time an employer would ask for feedback from their employees was at an exit interview. Successful organisations invite feedback from their employees long before they\u2019re on the way out. Develop an effective <\/span><b>continuous listening strategy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that includes group surveys, purposeful one-on-one meetings and an everyday self-awareness of how much time you spend talking vs. asking questions. Only by prioritising others&#8217; voices can leaders not only <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/en\/multipliers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multiply the intelligence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of their team members, but gain insight into where they themselves need to do better.
