Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you have failed. It usually means something important is out of alignment.
Discover what’s holding you back and take the next step forward with the 8 Factors of Engagement®.
Why We Feel Stuck at Work
Most people don’t feel stuck because they’ve stopped trying. In fact, many work harder than ever. They begin to feel stuck when they lose sight of what matters most, how their strengths create value, and how their work connects to a larger purpose. When that connection weakens, effort alone often isn’t enough to create meaningful progress.
The model measures Purpose, Accountability, Resources, Trust, Care, Recognition, Development, and Agility, providing a clear picture of where individuals and teams are thriving and where focused action can create meaningful improvement.
All eight factors work together to create sustainable engagement. Research shows that when Trust is present, Purpose becomes the strongest driver of engagement. Together, these two foundational factors strengthen the remaining six, creating a more engaged workforce, stronger teams, and improved organizational performance.
