Gallup’s 2011 Employee Engagement Index reported that 71% of American workers are “not engaged” or “actively disengaged” in their work. In other words, nearly three quarters of the U.S. workforce is emotionally disconnected from their workplaces and are less likely to be productive. That leaves a small fraction of employees truly enthusiastic and working at a highly productive and energized level.
Business and psychological researchers – including Gallup – have found a direct correlation between an employee’s workplace engagement and a company’s overall performance. Organizations with fully engaged employees are more likely to experience positive business performance than those whose employees are not engaged. Profitability, productivity, quality, and client satisfaction are all affected by an employee’s level of engagement.
