A Staggering 60% of People Reported being "Emotionally Detached" at Work

Are you an Accounting/Finance professional currently working in a position that does not feel like it matches your career aspirations, or the culture of your current employer is not conducive to the quality of life or work you want? If so, you are in a situation not too unfamiliar to many in the workforce today.

Here is a quote from the attached article that creates uneasiness amongst any leader: "Gallup, in its recently released State of the Global Workplace: 2022 report, found that, along with dissatisfaction, workers are experiencing staggering rates of both disengagement and unhappiness. Sixty percent of people reported being emotionally detached at work and 19% as being miserable."

Those figures are staggering and scary to every CEO, business owner, and happy employee that works next to an emotionally detached one.

For Accounting/Financial professionals, there are some positives: First, you work in a profession with a tremendous amount of opportunity no matter where you live. Second, you work in a profession that understands the differences between the varying roles accounting and finance professionals can serve (every business in this country requires someone in accounting - internally or externally). Lastly, the leaders (CEOs, CFOs, Managing Partners, Partners and HR Professionals) hiring for these positions understand that nearly every situation/position is different (we will discuss that in a future post).

What is important, as a professional, is that you can find an opportunity that works for your work life and personal life; from an employer perspective, a happy staff member makes clients and other staff happier while doing good work.
