The research also found that workers’ confidence in the UK job market has plummeted, bucking an upward trend on the continent.
Gallup’s 2023 research revealed that the UK remains one of the least engaged workforces in Europe, ranking 33 out of 38 among countries.
While marginally better than the same data last year, the low levels of employee engagement are not unique to the UK, with only 13% of employees across Europe saying they feel engaged at work, and the lowest rates of engagement reported in France (7%) and Italy (5%).
