A poll shows that most workers are not engaged at work.
According to Gallup’s new 142-country study on the State of the Global Workplace, only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. More precisely, only about one in eight workers — roughly 180 million employees in the countries studied — are psychologically committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations.
The bulk of employees worldwide — 63% — are “not engaged,” a Gallup reporter wrote. “They lack motivation and are less likely to invest discretionary effort in organizational goals or outcomes. And 24% are ‘actively disengaged,’ indicating they are unhappy and unproductive at work and liable to spread negativity to coworkers. In rough numbers, this translates into 900 million not engaged and 340 million actively disengaged workers around the globe.”
The United State and Canada have the highest proportion of engaged workers, at 29%.

So! This is why were importing illegal people to fullfil these as not yet outsourced pizz paying jobs ?
Corporate America brought this on themselves. When their profits became more important than the people who built the company’s are not shown any loyalty they can not expect any in return.
Exactly LVS.
I agree with “LVS” when corporate America put profits ahead of people why should they expect anything in return. Corporations and their CEO’s are making huge profits but workers salaries have not increased and benefits are nothing anymore.
I wonder what the number of “engaged” workers were 25 or 30 years ago?
When Corporate America started “downsizing” to get rid of their older workers, the loyal or engaged no longer meant anything to the company.
Many, many loyal long term employees in this country were shown the door.
I am surprised America has the 29% engaged workers it does. I am not sure that number is accurate.
CURRIES is a great example of that right here in Mason City. Then make those remaining fear everyday for their jobs… SAMRT
