Employee happiness has been in steady decline since 2020. In an article in Fast Company earlier this week, CEO and author Jenn Lim asked, “Why are employees so glum? They're no longer riding the ‘highs and lows' of their roles but instead shifted to ‘resignation and apathy'” writes Lim. “The true problem with employee engagement isn't a lack of motivation but a disconnect between the employee and the organization's purpose.” Disengaged teams cost the global economy $8.8 trillion annually, but a massive individual cost exists, as well. “Workers aren't feeling a sense of purpose in their work, unable to see the alignment between their values or connections to what matters most,” Lim says.

Imposter syndrome is characterized by doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud.
