The Number of the Day: 34.4
Written by Anthony Demangone
Gallop measures employee engagement. Every single day.Â
I took a look at the number yesterday. Â
34.4 percent of Americans are engaged at work. Â
Let me do the math for you.
65.6 are disengaged.Â
Even if the numbers were 50/50, I don't think any of us would find it acceptable. But two-thirds being disengaged? That's saddening.
I don't know the answer here. But reading that number got me thinking, and talking to myself.
- Do I think our number is higher or lower?
- Is it trending up or down?Â
- What are we doing about it?
I wish I had more answers here. But perhaps the important thing is to simply start thinking about that number and what it means.Â
