Why Am I Unhappy at Work? (HBR Podcast) 5 May 2022 --- Part one of HBR IdeaCast’s special four-part series, Find Joy in Any Job, with Marcus Buckingham on how to design your work to focus on what you love. There’s been much talk about the Great Resignation and what’s driving it. The pandemic has exacerbated a long-term problem: many of us struggle to find any pleasure in our work. But quitting isn’t the only the solution. Often, it’s not feasible. In this special series from HBR, we look at a different path: figuring out what you really love and crafting your current role around that. In part one of four, we dig into the data showing why people feel so disengaged and what they feel is missing from their work. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.
