When we talk about employee engagement trends, we tend to think of what’s going on with employees overall. It’s an average, a way of lumping every employee from every demographic together and deciding whether or not things are heading in the right direction.
For example, this year’s Employee Engagement Trends report from my company, Quantum Workplace, found that on average 65.3% of employees were engaged in 2015. But if you take a more detailed look, you see there are variations across demographics. Seventy-seven percent of employees over 66 are engaged, but just 67% of employees between 26 and 35 are.
