What if your employee perks are actually backfiring… making people disengage faster, not stay longer? The way we attract and retain talent is overdue for a serious reset. In today's Leadership Spark, we dive into why the traditional employer-employee relationship is broken and what leaders must change to stay relevant. You’ll learn how outdated recruitment practices no longer work in a world where candidates interview you just as much as you interview them. We also unpack why engagement initiatives like free lunches or yoga classes, aren’t fixing anything long-term, and how companies end up trapped in a cycle of quick-fix perks that fail to build a lasting connection. You’ll discover the real reason behind declining engagement scores, the hidden trap of the “hedonic treadmill,” and why the next evolution of leadership is about building genuine experiences, not selling false promises.   ________________ Start your day with the world’s top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
