Gallup recently released its annual report estimating that low employee engagement could cause a loss of $8.9 trillion in the global economy, equivalent to approximately 9% of the global GDP. The report surveyed 128,278 employees in over 140 countries, revealing that around 20% felt lonely, angry, or sad daily, and 41% experienced stress. It also found that only 23% of employees were highly engaged at work, with the rest lacking enthusiasm. The report highlighted that employees who understood the meaning and relevance of their work had higher levels of daily enjoyment and lower levels of negative emotions. Different regions varied in both work engagement and happiness levels, with the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America having higher percentages of engaged employees. However, Europe and South Asia had the lowest levels of work engagement.
