Strap in for a whirlwind journey through the peaks and valleys of employee engagement. It’s a story of modest gains, notable challenges and the undeniable power of truly valuing your team.
🎢 The employee engagement rollercoaster:
From WFH highs to “meh” lows.
🚨 4 years post-WFH revolution:
Remember when engagement rates spiked amid uncertainty and a newfound focus on employee wellbeing?
Fast forward >>
Gallup’s findings on recent employee engagement bring us back to reality, and they’re… let’s optimistically label it “varied.” We’ve witnessed a marginal boost in the past year — up 1% to 33% of U.S. employees feeling engaged at work in 2023.
That leaves a vast 67% of the workforce pondering if work is just about the daily grind — a stark reminder of the rollercoaster ride we’ve been on since 2020. 😕
The plot twist:
👴🧓 It’s the Boomers boosting the numbers.
Meanwhile, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z are on a noticeable decline. 📉
(Check out Gallup’s report for the juicy details.)
The real juice:
🌟72% of engagement at “best-practice organizations.” They get it right with a mix of strengths-focus, engagement at heart and performance zeal.
Translation?
