Uninspired/Uncaring Leaders

Over 34% of people say they leave their job because they feel uninspired by their boss or their supervisor does not care. Experts recommend bosses show empathy about the conditions their employees face at work and in the rest of their lives. Bosses may want to get mental health training allowing them to create a safe spot for their employees.

Lack of Meaningful Work

Employees want to know that what they are doing is essential. Experts recommend that bosses connect with their employees early and often. It is imperative that bosses give balanced feedback.

Lack of concern for health and well-being
