Is Your Team Truly Engaged? Here’s What You Need to Know

“U.S. Employee Engagement Sinks to 10-Year Low.” 

That’s the headline from a recent Gallup article, which also notes: “The declines since 2020 equate to about 8 million fewer engaged employees.” 

These statistics reveal a troubling reality. Most people show up to work without feeling connected to what they do or where they work. They may complete tasks, attend meetings, and collect paychecks, but the spark is missing. And that absence costs everyone.

At its core, engagement is about the connection people feel to their work and their organization. When employees feel valued and supported, they bring more energy, creativity, and focus to their jobs. When that connection is missing, the results can be costly for both individuals and organizations.
