Stop the "glossy work" cycle: What employers can do

"Glossy work" comes at a cost to employers as they have to manage discontent and staff turnover.

How employers can stop the "glossy work" cycle:

• Showing a fair balance of the exciting and mundane aspects of the job.
• Assembling tasks so that the less pleasant tasks are spread across employees and jobs.
• Openness to employee efforts to tweak their jobs.
• Taking caution when listing passion as a job requirement, then providing work that doesn't fit that passion.
