Workplace Psychology and Well-being
The world has changed forever and terms like “new normal” and “great resignation” are of great concern to both profit-and non-profit organisations.
The pandemic has caused employees to relook at the meaning of life and many are quitting their traditional jobs to look for more meaning work. To retain employees and survive the “great resignation”, organisation leaders must become more in tune with what employees want and reimage work processes that are attractive to their employees. Understanding the psychology of their workforce and catering to the well-being of their employees would be important considerations under the “new normal”.
