Low employee engagement is holding back global worker productivity, according to Gallup’s latest State of the Global Workplace report.
Global employee engagement and employee wellbeing have generally risen over the past decade. But both fell in 2024, which has implications for corporate productivity, innovation and performance.
Here’s what leaders need to know from Gallup’s latest State of the Global Workplace report:
- Global employee engagement fell by two percentage points in 2024, costing the world economy an estimated $438 billion in lost productivity.
- Global employee well-being fell for a second consecutive year, following several years of steady gains.
- If the world’s workplace was fully engaged, Gallup estimates that $9.6 trillion in productivity could be added to the global economy, the equivalent of 9% in global GDP.
