Is Employee Loyalty Dead?

Hello and welcome to Episode 310 of The People Powered Business Podcast.

Today I am sharing a conversation had on The Australian Small Business Show, another podcast that I cohost with my husband Matt Heighway.

In this episode, we tackle a big question many small business owners are asking right now, is employee loyalty dead?

Drawing on our experiences and observations of the next generation entering the workforce, they explore how the traditional idea of loyalty as a trade for long-term job security has shifted. With changing expectations, generational differences and the lasting impact of the pandemic, the old rules around work and loyalty no longer seem to apply in the same way .

The conversation dives into why job security is no longer the primary driver of loyalty, and how employees are increasingly taking ownership of their own careers. We discuss why modern loyalty looks less like a lifetime commitment and more like being engaged, committed and aligned while someone is part of your business. We also unpack how leadership, development, flexibility and feeling valued now play a far bigger role than simply a pay cheque.
