As businesses continue to try to drive efficiency in a macroenvironment that values real profits over artificial growth, employers need employees to be driven, efficient, and motivated in their work. Disengaged employees are the opposite. They aren’t connected to their roles or their companies, leading to slow, unmotivated progress in their roles and responsibilities.  

Administrative Professionals Day is just around the corner, and it's time to celebrate the invaluable contributions of administrative professionals across the country. With over 18.5 million office and administrative support jobs making up 12.2% of total employment, it's clear that these roles are vital to every organization. This year, we’ll be recognizing and honoring the hard work of millions of administrative professionals, including assistants, office coordinators, and executive assistants.

Following the Great Resignation in 2021 and 2022, 2024 began a troubling trend deemed “the Great Detachment.” This trend hasn’t led to employees quitting their jobs, but rather growing increasingly detached from their employers and less satisfied with their roles. According to recent Gallup data only 18% of American workers indicate that they are “extremely satisfied” with their jobs, while 51% are either watching for or actively looking for a new role.  

As the workforce continues to evolve, keeping employees engaged, motivated, and satisfied remains crucial for organizational success. Team building activities are a proven way to foster trust, communication, and collaboration among employees, helping them form valuable relationships that benefit the organization as a whole.

The workplace landscape is evolving rapidly, and employers are grappling with a growing trend: “revenge quitting.” Unlike impulsive "rage quitting," revenge quitting is a calculated response to long-standing dissatisfaction with workplace culture. According to Glassdoor's Worklife Trends 2025 Report, 65% of employees feeling stuck in their current roles are likely to consider revenge quitting this year.
