Jennifer Moss emphasizes the importance of creating a work culture that prioritizes community, purpose, and productivity in her insights from her book "Why Are We Here?" She discusses how various global crises have shifted people's values and psychology, leading to the need for workplaces that offer more than just better jobs. The growing detachment from work is a response to this polycrisis, which necessitates new approaches to employee engagement and satisfaction. Leaders are encouraged to adapt their strategies, focusing on enhancing life quality for employees.
A behavioral mindset shift has happened in response to polycrisis, meaning multiple crises that collided to make each individual crisis worse. The pandemic, climate disasters, accelerated AI adoption, political and economic instability, and war have changed our collective psychology and priorities.
Research finds that when facing the finitude of life, you start mentally reorganizing your priorities. If work feels like a grind, our subconscious brain sees it as a threat.
