Questions are swirling about the mindset of the white-collar worker.
Worker disengagement is increasing no matter where a person does their job, whether that’s in the office, at home, or a hybrid of both.

Some 52% said having a caring and empathetic leader was more important than before the pandemic.
But it’s a challenge to the idea — possibly held by managers stricken with “productivity paranoia” — that in-person work settings could be the cure for flagging morale and engagement. “For workers who are remote or hybrid, this may mean being more intentional about making time for connection,” Ray added.
