The 'Worth It' Calculation

Employees aren't just moving from one job to another. They're shifting priorities around why they work and how and when work is worth it. Monetary reward is just one way they derive value in their work but is no longer the most important.

Value includes wellbeing, family and degrees of freedom to obtain the highest net value return.

It's a mistake to view how employees calculate "worth it" as a one-time act or related only to pay and promotion. Instead, employees are making the new abnormal core to a new view of what leadership must be: collective, cultural, shared, and dynamic.
