70% of Employees Are Checked Out — Here's What's Actually Causing It and How to Fix It

Seven out of ten people on your team are going through the motions. Not because they are lazy or disloyal but because something in the culture, the structure, or the way they are being led has quietly switched off their engagement. Richard Cruz is a workplace culture strategist at Harmonious Workplaces who has spent his career diagnosing exactly what causes that disengagement and what actually reignites it — not ping-pong tables or pizza parties but the specific levers of psychological safety, flattened hierarchy, and the kind of trust that makes people bring their real thinking to work instead of their performance of it. What he shares about why the hidden costs of disengagement go far beyond productivity, how to turn the workarounds your team has already created into streamlined systems, and his two-week Harmonious Health Check blueprint for diagnosing your organizational health will give you the most practically specific and immediately applicable team culture framework you have encountered. Your team is not the problem. The conditions you have created for them might be. This episode shows you how to tell the difference — and what to change.

Turning clandestine “work-arounds” into streamlined, tech-savvy workflows. Remote-first realities: balancing freedom with the power of face-to-face moments.
