The rise of AI presents a potential productivity growth of $4.4 trillion, yet corporations face a critical challenge: a disconnect between leadership and workforce. Only 1% of leaders consider their AI deployment mature, with 92% planning to increase investments. However, Gallup's report indicates declining employee engagement, now at 21%. Disengaged employees are less productive, which impacts customer service and innovation, resulting in costly staff turnover. Addressing workforce engagement is essential for harnessing AI’s promise and enhancing overall business performance.
Studies reveal that disengaged employees are 18% less productive on average, and their disengagement leaks into customer interactions, harming service quality and brand loyalty.
Disengaged employees contribute to a culture of compliance rather than innovation, problem-solving, and transformation, significantly hindering organizational progress.
A disconnect between leadership and workforce is a more pressing concern than technical lag in adopting AI, as it erodes alignment and trust within organizations.
GALLUP'S 2025 report shows global employee engagement declined to 21% in 2024, marking an alarming trend for business leaders focusing solely on AI investments.
