US Employee Engagement Plummets to 10-Year Low
2025-01-14
Gallup's latest data reveals a decade low in US employee engagement in 2024, with only 31% of employees reporting engagement—mirroring 2014 levels. Actively disengaged employees also reached 17%, matching 2014 figures. A two-percentage-point drop since 2023 highlights growing employee detachment, especially among those under 35. Key factors contributing to this decline include unclear expectations, lack of care, and limited development opportunities. Gallup advises leaders to focus on workplace culture, defining organizational purpose and values, and developing managers who can inspire and engage employees.
