Discontented Worker-Detecting Infographics

These Red Flags Help Identify Unhappy Employees

This infographic explores red flags identifying unhappy employees. Designed by Taskworld, 5 Signs That Your Employees Aren't Happy takes a bit of a pessimistic approach to the workforce that is aimed at identifying potential office mutineers.

According to this infographic, some characteristics of unhappy employees to be on the look out for are decreased professionalism, calling in, decreased work production, not doing favors and asking for days off. The productivity blog asserts no one likes to work and that your chance of sticking it out at a job depends on your position. In addition to listing actions to look out for, the infographic offers a potential reason behind the behavior. It does not, however, offer any solutions when it comes to retaining workers or re-engaging them.
