Some employees leave; others stay but quietly disengage. This session explores why good people switch off and how culture, mental health practice, and leadership shape motivation and retention. In partnership with the Dharma Academy, we share evidence‑based insights to help organisations spot disengagement early and build environments where people perform well and choose to stay.
Not all organisational risk shows up as resignation letters. Some of the most significant performance and engagement challenges come from people who stay but quietly disengage over time. This session explores why good people choose to leave and why others remain but stop giving their best.
Delivered in partnership with Dharma Academy for Workplace Wellbeing, this webinar brings expert insight into how workplace culture and an organisation’s approach to mental health at work directly influence motivation, retention, and long-term performance.
The Dharma Academy integrates evidence-based workplace wellbeing practices with a practical understanding of how work is organised, managed, and experienced, including the social dynamics that shape day-to-day interactions, enabling leaders to build cultures where people perform well, contribute consistently, and choose to stay.
Grounded in current UK duty of care legal obligations around mental health at work, and aligned with international workplace wellbeing standards such as ISO 45003, the session helps participants understand the key drivers that promote engagement and identify the root causes of disengagement before they escalate into high turnover, rising absence, or burnout.
By the end of the session, participants will:
• Understand the key factors that drive people to leave or disengage while staying
• Recognise early warning signs of reduced effort, burnout, and “quiet withdrawal”
• See how psychosocial risks impact performance, motivation, and team stability
• Understand how duty of care and international standards support a healthy, engaged workforce
• Gain clarity on how the Dharma Academy supports organisations in complying with their duty of care around mental health at work, helping to minimise legal, financial, and reputational risk.
• Leave with practical, evidence‑based actions to re‑engage talent and strengthen retention
