Only about 16 percent of employees are “Fully Engaged,” and this number has not changed much since our study in 2015. This means 84 percent of workers are just “Coming to Work” instead of contributing all they can to their organizations.
Location matters. Although the overall level remained stable from 2015 to 2018, we found significant variation in the percentage of Fully Engaged by country. In eight countries (Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) the percentage of Fully Engaged increased. In four countries (Brazil, China, Mexico, and the United States) the percentage of Fully Engaged decreased.
