As the debate continues over whether organisations should be compelling employees to return to the workplace, a recent report from Oyster HR focuses on why employees continue to be disillusioned with work and, more importantly, what employers can do to address this issue.
The aptly named Who gives a Shuck is based on interviews with 2,500 knowledge workers about their own personal and professional priorities at a time when there remains enormous uncertainty over the post-Covid business environment, the cost-of-living crisis, and a moribund economy.
Perhaps the most important finding is that many employees are not living to work anymore, with nealy half of those questioned stating that their number one priority in life was their mental health.
