Employee disengagement is a huge, if sometimes overlooked, organizational problem. Disengaged employees are easy to spot because they’re lethargic, often absent or late, offer few new ideas, don’t help others on the team, don’t display energy in meetings and, worst of all, may transmit their “I don’t really care” attitude to your customers.
In a worst-case scenario, disengaged employees could contaminate your organizational culture, transmitting a dark cloud of disengagement throughout your organization. According to Gallup’s State of the American Workplace report, 70 percent of U.S. employees are not engaged, with 20 percent of that number actively disengaged.
