GoKawiilGallup: US employee engagement falls below 30%, lowest since 2011
Gallup's latest survey found U.S. employee engagement has dropped under 30%, marking its lowest level in 15 years. The decline was sharpest among fully remote workers, whose engagement fell five points, while onsite workers saw a smaller drop of about one point.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A sustained decline in engagement could signal weakening morale and productivity across the workforce, particularly as remote work arrangements show steeper drops than onsite roles. Employers may need to reassess how they manage and connect with remote staff, though Gallup's data does not specify the causes behind the shift.
- U.S. employee engagement has fallen below 30%, the lowest since 2011.
- Fully remote workers saw a 5-point drop in engagement, far more than onsite workers' 1-point decline.
- The findings suggest remote work models may face distinct challenges in sustaining worker engagement.
