Dr Lynda Shaw, a psychologist and business improvement specialist, has argued that employees who are creating poor quality work, becoming increasingly unproductive and taking more and more sick days are simply lacking a good leader or employer. Shaw believes that a number of employers are failing to inspire and motivate their workforce, as they are currently too concerned with juggling their own responsibilities and trying to compete in a difficult market. According to Shaw, it is because of this that employees of all ages and across all income levels are feeling apathetic and detached from their work.

While Shaw admits there are many employers who are great leaders, she believes that this shows in the success of a company and that managers need to ensure that their employees are happily engaged at work, taking into account various personalities, personal goals and abilities. Shaw points out that we spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else so it is important that employers are supportive and accommodating to their employees by ensuring they have all the help they need. You can work to increase productivity and help your staff by providing them with the office supplies they need to do their jobs more efficiently and easily.
