Mediapsssst at MediaPost spotlighted a White paper from a White consultancy that offers internal communications guidance, presumably servicing White companies.
Incidentally, the White paper was produced in partnership with The Harris Poll, the iconic White global consultancy and market research firm owned by The Stagwell Group, a White holding company predominately comprised of White advertising agencies.
The Mediapsssst story title asked, “Is Your Agency Burned Out By The Pace Of Change?” The image depicted above—excerpted from the White paper—presents five key drivers of burnout:
1) Constant change
2) High turnover
3) Unnecessary work from leadership
4) Asked to shift focus throughout the day
5) Not being encouraged to take time off
These are the typical conditions at White advertising agencies, prompted by the merger-minded and moronic maneuvers of White holding companies.
Granted, the White paper was not written exclusively for White advertising agencies. But it’s kinda bizarre that it was co-crafted by an enterprise owned by a White holding company that could’ve easily provided the data by simply polling its White advertising agencies.
Is Your Agency Team Burned Out By The Pace Of Change?
By Richard Whitman, Columnist
Digital transformation and other factors have made change a constant across many industries, especially advertising and marketing. What impact is that change having on your workforce?
According to a survey from Stagwell’s Harris Poll and The Grossman Group, 76% of employees and 63% of managers report feeling burned out or ambivalent in their current position.
But, the survey found managers aren’t recognizing just how overwhelmed employees feel. 89% of managers believe employees are thriving, but only 24% of employees feel that way.
58% of burned-out employees and managers strongly agree they are mentally exhausted while 54% agree they are overwhelmed in their current role.
Top drivers of employee burnout: constant change, unnecessary work and turnover.
Thriving employees cite a manager invested in their success (61%), empathetic manager (57%) and approachable senior leadership (53%).
