Leadership and communication expert Ellie Haskins knows from personal experience what can happen when people don’t feel seen, heard, or supported at work.
“I've seen this firsthand with some of my friends who are very talented at what they do. They've started looking for jobs at other places because they've had the same conversation with their manager over and over again about what doesn’t work—and nothing is changing.”
Just as distressing, says Haskins, is when people lose their enthusiasm for the work but don’t physically leave.
“The employee stays there. They still send the emails, they still do the work, but they're not bringing their best to work. They’re just going through the motions.”
