Ep. 97: The Breaking Point: Why Employee Loyalty Is Dying — And What Leaders Must Do Now

Send us a text Why are more employees disengaged, distrustful, and ready to leave than ever before? In this episode of the Love Monday Podcast, I unpack a real-world story of a dedicated employee who gave her all to her company — only to be terminated when she asked for flexibility. This isn’t an isolated case. Across industries, companies are increasingly breaking the psychological contract with their people — sacrificing loyalty, trust, and long-term engagement for short-term risk avoidance. Backed by the latest research from Gallup, McKinsey, Edelman, and PwC, I explore why so many organizations are losing their most committed employees, how leadership behaviors are eroding trust, and what the best companies do differently to retain top talent. If you’re a CHRO, people leader, manager, or employee navigating today’s changing work landscape, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss. We’ll cover:  ✅ Why employee trust in leadership is at a historic low  ✅ How companies are quietly dismantling flexible work — and paying the price  ✅ The hidden costs of breaking the psychological contract  ✅ The role of psychological safety in engagement and retention ✅ Actionable steps leaders must take to rebuild trust and loyalty Don’t let your company become a cautionary tale. Tune in now and learn how to build the kind of workplace where employees love Monday — and stick around to prove it.
