Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace report indicates a concerning drop in employee engagement to 21%, down two points from the previous year. This decline reflects the impact of recent disruptions, including layoffs and the rise of AI, occurring alongside ongoing workplace challenges. Notably, managers, particularly younger and female ones, are showing significant decline in engagement, which adversely affects overall workplace morale and productivity. The report underscores a critical moment in workforce dynamics as engagement wanes amidst transformational changes in the workplace.
