Ep. 97: The Breaking Point: Why Employee Loyalty Is Dying — And What Leaders Must Do Now

Why are more employees disengaged, distrustful, and ready to leave than ever before? In this episode of the Love Monday Podcast, I unpack a real-world story of a dedicated employee who gave her all to her company — only to be terminated when she asked for flexibility. This isn’t an isolated case. Across industries, companies are increasingly breaking the psychological contract with their people — sacrificing loyalty, trust, and long-term engagement for short-term risk avoidance.

Backed by the latest research from Gallup, McKinsey, Edelman, and PwC, I explore why so many organizations are losing their most committed employees, how leadership behaviors are eroding trust, and what the best companies do differently to retain top talent.

If you’re a CHRO, people leader, manager, or employee navigating today’s changing work landscape, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss.

We’ll cover:
 ✅ Why employee trust in leadership is at a historic low
 ✅ How companies are quietly dismantling flexible work — and paying the price
 ✅ The hidden costs of breaking the psychological contract
 ✅ The role of psychological safety in engagement and retention
✅ Actionable steps leaders must take to rebuild trust and loyalty

Don’t let your company become a cautionary tale. Tune in now and learn how to build the kind of workplace where employees love Monday — and stick around to prove it.
