Culture Collapse: Employees Want Meaning, But Managers Can’t Deliver!

Be honest—does your team actually care about their work, or are they just showing up for the paycheck? You can feel it: enthusiasm is down, engagement is slipping, and there’s a silent wave of ‘I’m just here because I have to be.

Welcome to resenteeism—the workplace nightmare where employees stay, but their motivation checks out.

A McKinsey survey found that 89% of employees crave purpose in their work, yet only 50% actually find it. Gallup reports that 50% of employees are disengaged, and a shocking 16% are actively disengaged—which means they aren’t just unhappy; they’re dragging your culture and productivity down with them. And it’s only getting worse.

Why? Because managers aren’t equipped to bridge the gap between work and purpose. Employees feel disconnected from the company’s mission, undervalued in their roles, and stuck in an endless loop of uninspiring tasks. And when people don’t feel a sense of purpose, they disengage, underperform, and eventually quit—or worse, they stay and drain morale.

🚨 So, What Can You Do? 🚨

You can’t just throw another generic engagement survey at your team and hope things improve. You need real, actionable solutions that reconnect your employees to their work and bring meaning back to the workplace.
