Gallup just released another poll on employee engagement. About 32% of the 67,000 full- and part-time employees surveyed were engaged in their work in 2022. That’s about one in three of your employees. 50% are like, meh, doesn’t really matter – not engaged or actively disengaged. 18% were actively disengaged.
What does it mean to be actively disengaged? Bordering on workplace violence? Using ChatGPT to write your book report? No, it means “disgruntled and disloyal” because most of their workplace needs are unmet. A disengaged employee, operating on auto-pilot, wanting to get the job done as soon as possible, is also an accident waiting to happen.
