Many business leaders will end the year with the same concerns they started with: how to retain employees and create a work culture that motivates them , makes them feel included, and brings out their best work.

It can be easy to assume your top-performing employees don’t need much intervention. And for the most part, allowing for greater autonomy is a great way to help employees find passion and purpose at work. But beware: Amidst your most autonomous, capable employees there’s a silent engagement killer that can creep in without you even realizing it. It’s called utilization.
