In today's episode:

There's a form of disengagement that explains why so many high performing people feel invisible at work even while succeeding on paper.

A ranked-last employee engagement score at a major retailer revealed something deeper than morale, and the fix had nothing to do with shareholder value.

A clever reframe connecting one team's daily work to their own family members shopping in the store completely changed how employees saw their impact.

CEO Daily Brief is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Hosted by Dr. Jessica Kriegel, Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners. She is frequently joined by John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura.

John Miles, author of The Mattering Effect and host of the Passion Struck podcast, joins Jessica to discuss the slow fade of disengagement, why people lose touch with themselves at work, and what it really means to help employees feel they matter.
