The typical workplace on a Monday morning is a depressing sight. For every bright-eyed, bushy-tailed worker who happily bounces through the doors, eagerly looking forward to the week ahead, there are three or four who lumber in, heavy-hearted and despondent, to face work they hate and a job that is drudgery.

So what can be done to raise the sagging spirits of today’s workers? This report begins with a brief examination of the current energy crisis at work and how employees’ expectations of work are changing. It then focuses on the practical steps employers can take to rejuvenate a listless workforce, looking at:
 

• the nature of organisational energy: and how leaders can mobilise it
• passion and energy: and the newly identified importance of tailoring jobs, careers to people’s deep-seated life interests
  workplace relationships: and the behaviours which enhance or sap energy
• handling setbacks: and ways to bounce back and restore depleted energy

Finally, the report provides managers with practical advice on how to energise their own teams and ways to tend to their own personal energy levels in challenging times.
