I'm the HR Business Partner for a software sales company and we are a team of 50 in London, with our HQ in the US.
Like most we are moving to a long-term solution of hybrid working and we are seeing a good number of staff now excited to return to the office in some way or another
My question to you all is have you seen a drop in your employee engagement/motivation in these last 6 months?
It feels as though work life and home life have merged to the point where we are all a bit lost and lacking our love for our roles. Activity and results are down, as is enthusiasm, more so in sales than any other area of the business. Whilst we are big advocates for a good work/life balance it feels that the scales are tipping too far the other way.
We are of course hoping that a return to the office in a small way will boost this and re-motivate our employees. We have a late summer party planned and have always come up with new ways to keep our culture strong throughout the pandemic, but our people seem checked out.
Has anyone else experienced similar? Are there any ideas on how we help to gradually fix this?
It would be great to see these teams excited again.
Thanks in advance!
