Description:

As a leader, how can you tackle disengagement on your team? Employee engagement is in crisis, and it’s costing more than just morale. According to Gallup, only 31% of the American workforce is engaged at work, while a staggering 17% are actively disengaged—cynical, vocal, and dragging others down with them. This outlook takes a toll on worker mental health, and it’s also a full-blown productivity problem with real financial consequences.

In this episode, I unpack the findings of Gallup’s Q12 engagement survey and look at how leaders and managers can use it as a blueprint for creating meaningful, motivating work environments. From setting clear expectations to building genuine connections and offering real opportunities for growth, we explore the practical ways to shift your team’s momentum.

Take a deeper look at what the numbers say about leading your most impactful team:

  • What the generational divide in employee engagement might reveal;
  • Why it’s not as simple as blaming remote work for all the problems;
  • How expectations create the foundation for a more engaged workforce.
