The Problem
Organizations measure and track engagement, satisfaction, turnover, and the employee experience.
Yet satisfaction decreases. Performance declines. Turnover increases.
At the heart of those outcomes is the relationship between employees and their organization.
The Employee-Organization Relationship provides the lens for understanding what is shaping those outcomes.
When the relationship is characterized by trust, commitment, support, and reciprocity, employees have greater reason to invest in the organization.
When the relationship erodes, employees may become skeptical of leadership and the organization.
01
The experience accumulates
Employees increasingly experience the organization as unsupportive, untrustworthy, inconsistent, or unwilling to reciprocate what they invest.
How the Relationship Erodes
02
Commitment weakens
Employees become more skeptical of the organization and less willing to contribute beyond what the role requires.
03
The relationship turns transactional
Work becomes an exchange of defined effort for defined compensation, rather than a relationship of mutual investment.
04
The consequences surface
Withdrawal, quiet quitting, declining performance, dissatisfaction, reduced attachment, and turnover..
The employee still works. But nature of the relationship has changed.
Research Informed. Business Focused.
Work grounded in research and built for leadership decisions.
For more than twenty five years, Bonnie Bailey has worked with organizations, leaders, and teams to solve business problems and improve the experience of work.
Her doctoral research examined the employee-organization relationship and produced a diagnostic model that helps organizations understand the relationship behind workforce outcomes.
