From the Great Resignation to quiet quitting, there's been no shortage of trends over the past few years that reflect growing dissatisfaction and disengagement in the workplace.

According to Gallup's 2025 State of the Workplace report, disengaged employees cost the global economy $438 billion in 2024 (2).
And the trend shows no sign of slowing down.
A 2026 Gallup survey reveals that just 31% of U.S.
employees were actively engaged at work in 2025.
After a decade of steady growth, employee engagement reached a high of 36% in 2020, and has been declining ever since — representing a staggering eight million fewer engaged employees over five years (3).

Post-pandemic retirements and turnover led to a hiring boom (and bust), resulting in rapidly restructured teams and departments.
