Across industries, from retail to tech to manufacturing, one issue keeps surfacing that no leader can afford to ignore: employee morale is sinking. Quiet quitting, burnout, and disengagement are just symptoms of a deeper crisis. Workers feel disconnected, undervalued, and unsure about their future in a rapidly changing world.
But thereβs a growing movement offering a powerful remedyβTech Skill Coaching. Spearheaded by Automation Workz, this innovative approach is restoring not just skillsets, but confidence, clarity, and enthusiasm among the workforce.
Letβs explore how Tech Skill Coaching is rebuilding moraleβand why your company needs it now more than ever.
The Morale Crisis at Work
Post-pandemic stress, fear of job displacement by AI, and lack of career development opportunities have left workers emotionally drained. A recent Gallup survey showed that only 23% of employees feel engaged at work, with many expressing little hope for growth or recognition.
Low morale doesnβt just impact moodβit impacts productivity, creativity, customer satisfaction, and profitability. In fact, studies show that poor engagement contributes to a $7.97 trillion loss in global productivity each year.
So, whatβs the fix? Itβs not just free snacks or more meetings. Itβs purposeful growth and skill-buildingβand thatβs where Tech Skill Coaching comes in.
