Do You Have Zombies in the Workplace?

You may be thinking to yourself, “Did I read that right?” The answer is yes, you did. However, we’re not talking about your average, flesh-eating, monster.

 

Along with the 100+ problems facing business owners in this day in age, a new threat emerges from inside the company – the zombie employee. Zombie employees have been the result of just one too many paper cuts (think: forced to use outdated tools, working under ineffective managers and getting zero feedback from coworkers). They are not to blame for their newly found classification; however, they are pretty easy to spot. These are the employees that are killing ideas, not contributing to innovation and simply “eating” productivity within the organization.

 

There’s good news though! Unlike your typical Walking Dead zombie, business managers have a cure. If you’re slowly turning into a zombie employee, or you have coworkers that have taken a turn for the worse, use these steps, created by AdWeek, to do something about it.
