The Great Big Yawn: Tackling Boredom, Apathy, and Exhaustion in the Workplace
The modern workplace faces a silent challenge: boredom, apathy, and exhaustion—what we call The Great Big Yawn. These issues are not just inconvenient; they lie at the heart of some of the most pressing organisational concerns, including absenteeism, presenteeism, and employee turnover. We are pioneering a fresh approach to addressing these challenges. Through engaging talks, dynamic workshops, and cutting-edge research, we help organisations take bold steps toward fostering engagement, inclusivity, and wellbeing.
Why Address the “Great Big Yawn” and Understanding the Impact of Workplace Apathy is so Important.
Studies reveal that workplace boredom and disengagement are more than minor inconveniences—they are direct contributors to significant organisational issues:
Reduced Productivity: Disengaged employees are 18% less productive than their engaged counterparts.
Sickness Leave: Chronic boredom and exhaustion lead to stress-related illnesses, accounting for 40% of workplace absenteeism.
Retention Challenges: Employees who feel disconnected are twice as likely to leave, increasing recruitment costs.
These figures highlight an urgent need for solutions. That’s where The Great Big Yawn initiative comes in.
Forward-thinking organisations are beginning to recognise these challenges, and we’re here to empower them to take action.
