It can't be that employee wages haven't kept pace, that more Americans feel financially unstable than ever, all of this while companies across every vertical have posted record breaking profits and their c-suite bringing home eye watering multi million dollar compensation packages. It must be the line managers do not understand how to manage and keep our serfs engaged!

As a middle manager with a hybrid staff... it could be both. I'm basically trusting my team to get their shit done without me checking over their virtual shoulders, but is that the best way? No idea. I'm just flying by the seat of my pants. My team has very high engagement levels, so I think my approach is working; but I also have a very experienced team and don't think my approach would be successful for managing fresh-outs virtually.

yeah it could be both but I would counter that without the other things no level of management will increase employee engagement, and manager while part of the engagement formula they are not the largest and can't be effective in this area until the other layers are met. Call it a corporate Maslow's hierarchy of needs where managers are near the top with like ping pong and pizza parties at the top.

I sort if see it the same those that complain about how employee loyalty no longer exists but have no problems laying off half their staff before they ask the CEO to take a pay cut, or barely keep pace with inflation for their highest performers.
