The Problem Clients Face
Many organisations are discovering that their strategic ambitions are being quietly undermined by workforce disengagement. Turnover rates are sitting at around 23%, capability and institutional knowledge are walking out the door, and remaining staff are stretched thin. Surface-level initiatives fail to address the deeper drivers of disengagement, leaving leaders frustrated and teams disconnected from the organisation’s direction.

Why It Matters: Cost and Risk
High attrition is expensive — recruitment costs, lost productivity, delayed projects and weakened client relationships quickly add up. More critically, disengagement erodes trust, discretionary effort and leadership credibility. When people don’t feel connected to the purpose or direction of the organisation, even the best strategy struggles to gain traction.

The Solution
Pittman & Martin work with leaders to explore what is happening beneath the surface of disengagement. Using a psychologically informed and systems-based approach, we help organisations understand the unspoken dynamics shaping motivation, commitment and behaviour — and why people are opting out rather than leaning in.
