Published: April 7, 2022, 2:20 p.m.

There\u2019s been much talk about the Great Resignation and what\u2019s driving it. The pandemic has exacerbated a long-term problem: many of us struggle to find any pleasure in our work. But quitting isn\u2019t the only the solution. Often, it\u2019s not feasible.\nIn this special series from HBR, we look at a different path: figuring out what you really love and crafting your current role around that. In this episode, we dig into the data showing why people feel so disengaged and what they feel is missing from their work.\nIdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.
