Rust Out

When someone starts to rust out, they lose interest in their work and coworkers. Management may notice issues with work quality too late, as the employee becomes restless and unhappy. Rust out often occurs when employees feel they are not progressing. To prevent rust out, employers should keep employees engaged with challenging tasks and ensure talented workers are in roles where they can advance rather than getting stuck in menial work. Matching employees to the right jobs and communicating opportunities for growth can also help prevent rust out.

When someone starts to rust out, he or she loses interest in the workplace and coworkers. The sharp
downturn in work quality tends to bring the attention of management to the issue, but by the time the
employee's work starts to suffer, it may be too late. He or she may also be restless, depressed, or
unhappy, expressing discontent to coworkers and friends. Often, someone rusts out when he or she
feels like no progress is being made.

There are a number of ways to prevent rust out in the workplace. Keeping employees engaged with
interesting and challenging tasks is an excellent way to prevent rust out, as it encourages them to use
their minds while also promoting the idea that they are valued in the company. Matching employees
with the right jobs is also important; talented people should not be shunted off to corners of the office
for menial work, for example, unless it is made clear that there is a possibility for advancement.
