You feel listless and disengaged, after years of being in a love relationship with your job or organization. So, how do you bring back the mojo and reset to the time when you were most excited with your job?
A job is like any other relationship in your life. You invest a huge amount of time and emotions, even if you state, that it is just to pay the EMIs. Like all relationships, you go through the cycle of fun and excitement and then, the phase of stagnation and boredom wherein the buzz seems to peter out.
Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report 2017 shows that only 13 percent of Indians, whether employed in the organized sector or otherwise, are actively engaged at work; meaning they are enthusiastic about and committed to their job and workplace. Compare this with the percentage of "engaged" workers in the U.S. which is at 34 percent--which is far from heartening.
This paints a stark picture of tens of millions out there, who are either in the falling or fallen out of love phase, doesn’t it?
Some of you may think, you should move to explore bigger and better opportunities. Some, inadvertently get into the BMW (Bitching, Moaning, Whining) zone and continue to surround themselves in a self-fulfilling prophecy of gloom.
