Did you know that 2/3rds of workers are passively disengaged? And that this has an effective loss of billions in the Australian economy?

Well, time to change all of that. In today's amazing interview, we chat with Cherie Mylordis about how to fix this problem. Cherie is a work futurist, executive advisor and speaker on future-fit organisations, certified leadership, transformation and innovation coach, and creator of Nextgenify Leadership.  In this conversation, Cherie Mylordis discusses the topic of employee engagement and the concept of 'quiet quitting'. She explains that quiet quitting refers to employees who show up for work but are not fully engaged or passionate about their work. She emphasizes the importance of purpose in the workplace and how it can drive employee engagement. Cherie also highlights the need for leaders to shift their strategies and focus on bold transformation to create a more meaningful and impactful workplace culture. She provides practical steps for individuals stuck in a disengaged workplace to begin making a change, such as uncovering their personal purpose and aligning it with the organization's purpose.
