    13% Engaged: Employees feel a strong connection to the success of their organization – almost as owners – and invest significant discretionary time and effort.

    63% Not Engaged: People feel less connected to their work and are disinclined to display initiative.

    24% Actively Disengaged: Workers who are unhappy, unproductive – and liable to spread their negativity to co-workers.

        This means 87% of the world’s working population is not meaningfully engaged in, or otherwise enthusiastic about their jobs.

        Worldwide, actively disengaged employees outnumber engaged employees by nearly 2:1.
