103. Your Organisation Has a Hidden Performance Problem and it Starts With Workplace Behaviour
from India HR Guide · host Mandeep Singh
#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, In this episode, Mandeep Singh highlights a hidden performance problem that exists in almost every organisation, employees who have not exited the company, but have already exited mentally. He explains that 10–15% of the workforce may already be in a state where they feel they are unable to contribute, grow, or add value, and are simply waiting for the next opportunity to leave. This is not a visible problem, but a systemic one and by the time employees start looking outside, the situation has already reached a point of no return. Mandeep reframes workplace harassment and discomfort as a business issue, not just a legal one. In most cases, the problem is not aggressive behaviour, but consistent signals that reduce an employee’s sense of contribution and relevance. These employees eventually become “anchors”, slowing down teams and impacting organisational performance despite being capable and trained. The episode provides a clear way forward for leaders, identifying early signals, reducing dependency on a single manager, introducing skip‑level visibility, and building HR systems that enable people to be heard before disengagement sets in. If your organisation has people who have stopped contributing but are still present, this episode will help you understand why and what needs to change.
