Title: Mattering at Work: The Missing Piece in the Burnout Conversation. (cover story)
Authors: HRUBY, CARRIE1 hrubycarrie@gmail.com

Subject Terms: *Career development, *Psychological burnout, Psychological safety, Job involvement
Abstract: The article focuses on the importance of employees feeling that they and their unique contributions truly matter within an organization, particularly in educational settings. It argues that beyond recognition and gratitude, employees need clear, consistent evidence that their presence, voice, and specific strengths are valued to prevent burnout, disengagement, and turnover. Strategies to foster this sense of mattering include genuine listening, personalized recognition, involving employees in decision-making, supporting professional growth, and creating psychological safety. The article emphasizes that meaningful, human connection from leaders—seeing employees as people first—is essential for deeper engagement and organizational success. [Extracted from the article]
