Your work bestie quits - are you going with them?

Last week HR Magazine reported that half of employees say they’d consider leaving if a close colleague resigned.
- 52% would consider leaving if a close colleague quit
- 32% feel more supported when they have a work best friend
- 27% say friendships matter more than pay increases (37% for Gen Z)
Which all corresponds to our own findings - that 56% of the decision to stay or go is down to connection. Strip it away, and even well-paid, “engaged” employees start to drift.

You’ve seen it before: a standout employee gets promoted and suddenly struggles. The confidence they had is gone and the results they deliver are slipping. In this position, anyone would be left wondering: how can someone so good at their job fall so flat as a leader?

Hands up if you’ve ever had a micromanager 🙋‍♀️

The closer they hold the work, the louder the message becomes:
“I don’t trust you.”

But what if it's unintentional? We often see high performers holding onto the standards that made them successful - they just never learnt how to apply them in management. And micromanagement is a massive demotivator.

Find out how to help your managers step back, build trust, and let people do their job with our new guide: https://bit.ly/481Jcld

We talk a lot about connection at Thomas - but even with our science, we've been on a journey to find out what works.
Here’s what we’ve learnt as we’ve worked to build a more connected culture:
- Real conversations matter more than perfectly crafted updates
- Leaders build trust by showing up, not performing
- The easier it is to speak up, the more people will - and that's a good thing!
- If you don’t respond, people stop sharing
- Progress isn’t always neat - but messy is where improvement starts.

None of this is complicated. But it does take time and intention. You can't just 'announce' connection. It’s something people feel in their day-to-day experience of work. Get it right, and everything else becomes easier.

How was that last engagement survey, really?
Managers looking just as disengaged as everyone else?

The engagement boost management used to give your people has disappeared, with Gallup showing manager scores are dropping fastest - and pulling overall engagement down with them.
Bigger teams. Fewer layers. More pressure.
It has a cost. Managers don’t just feel engagement - they drive it (and whether things like AI actually get used). So what can we do about it?
