Disengaged Workforce . . . the reasons are very simple and solutions are even simpler. Our workforce is desperately looking for - empowerment, clear definition of expectations and support from leadership. I have been delivering business transformation programs for 25 years, i miss the projects where the right conditions existed. I worked 70 hours a week for 2.5 years, only billed my client for 40 but i loved every minute of it. we owe it to our staff, it is our professional and ethical duty.
