Marie Unger emphasizes the challenge managers face in balancing top-down mandates with the well-being of their teams, especially amid declining employee engagement. With return-to-office policies causing friction despite the benefits of remote work, it's crucial for businesses to empower supervisors to promote autonomy and accountability. Increased employee monitoring is detrimental to morale, highlighting the need for effective leadership that encourages participation. Organizations that invest in leadership development will be better equipped to align corporate goals with employee needs, thus enhancing the workplace experience and trust.
Managers must balance leadership mandates with team well-being, as employee engagement is at its lowest in a decade, necessitating tools for stability in the workplace.
As remote work boosts employee happiness, return-to-office mandates create friction. Effective leadership fosters autonomy and accountability, avoiding surveillance and enhancing morale.
