Recognizing Public Service, Rewarding Purpose

Government employees are the backbone of our communities, yet they face mounting challenges such as burnout, shifting workforce expectations, and limited resources. Rewardian helps public sector organizations energize their teams with meaningful recognition programs that reinforce purpose, boost morale, and drive performance. By aligning rewards with values of service and impact, agencies can strengthen employee engagement, retention, and trust while continuing to deliver for the public they serve.

3 Major Problems in
 Government

 

Implications of Burnout 

Workload is a key driver of burnout among government employees, making new initiatives seem counterintuitive but inaction harms engagement, productivity, and efficiency. As Surgeon General Vivek Murthy notes, poor mental health affects performance and retention. Gallup reports that struggling employees take nearly 12 unplanned absences a year, costing organizations around $340 per day- highlighting the urgent need to prioritize well-being.

How Burnout Affects Employee Wellness

Burnout impacts more than just well-being; it significantly hinders organizational performance. Workplace stress costs the U.S. over $500 billion annually, and stressed employees are more likely to take sick leave and seek new jobs. Companies that neglect employee wellness face higher turnover, reduced productivity, and up to 50% higher healthcare costs.

 

A Workforce Shift 

Nearly half of recent graduates wouldn’t consider a government job, highlighting a challenge for public sector recruitment. To appeal to young talent, government roles need to emphasize purpose and align with Gen Z’s values. Deloitte’s 2024 survey shows that 39% of Gen Z prioritize making an impact over earning a higher income, signaling a need for meaningful, responsive government work.

The Reality of Burnout in Manufacturing

Hard work drives this industry: long shifts, quick problem-solving, and relentless follow-through. But there is a fine line between dedication and burnout. When once-reliable employees disengage, call out more often, or quietly job hunt, it takes a toll on productivity, retention, and morale. Addressing burnout isn’t just good for employees—it is essential for long-term success.

Balancing Expansion and Retention: The Future of Hiring in Manufacturing

Turnover and retirement rates have been steadily increasing, with 66% of manufacturers reporting that filling open positions now takes longer. The challenge of recruiting skilled workers has put additional pressure on companies, forcing them to refine hiring strategies and invest in employee retention efforts.

 

 

Consequences of a poor manufacturing work culture

A lack of creativity and innovation leaves employees disengaged, hindering both personal growth and company progress. In manufacturing, poor culture often drives workers to seek more fulfilling roles elsewhere. This revolving door effect reduces productivity and increases training costs. While there’s momentum to improve culture, real change requires a fundamental shift in mindset—one that takes time, commitment, and a break from outdated norms.
