Is anyone listening? Tackling stress through employee engagement

When you think of workplace stress, it’s not hard to point fingers at long hours, tight deadlines, micromanagement, or demanding projects.

But in my experience, the real culprit isn’t always workload, but the feeling of being unheard.

When employees speak up about their concerns, whether it’s regarding their pay, the impact of AI on their roles, the political climate, or their career progression, and those concerns vanish into a void, it slowly but surely erodes trust.

According to ADP research, a single disengaged employee can cost a business approximately £1600 annually. The impact of a disengaged team member extends far beyond their individual performance.
