Gallup's new data reveals that only 30% of employees are actively engaged, the lowest in a decade. Despite numerous attempts to enhance engagement through perks, flexibility, and development opportunities, progress has stalled. Engagement isn’t driven by benefits or work arrangements but by the quality of relationships in the workplace. Only 39% of employees feel cared for at work, and many report feeling invisible and underappreciated. The article emphasizes that successful engagement strategies must focus on fostering meaningful interpersonal connections among employees.
Engagement doesn't come from where or when we work or what we get for doing it. It comes from what we experience while working.
Each decision, experience, and interaction with the working world is understood, influenced, and shaped by relationships.
Only 39% of employees think someone cares about them as people at work, highlighting a significant gap in workplace relationships.
Despite increased investments in perks and flexibility, nothing has effectively improved employee engagement, pointing to the need for a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics.
