The involvement of global workers dropped from 23% to 21% in 2024, which is the largest decrease since COVID-19 locking, according to the Gallup Global Workplace report.
The involvement of global workers concerns how the involved, enthusiastic and devoted employees feel about their work.
The main reason for the drop is the manager. Many managers feel pressure from both bosses and team expectations. Their wiring dropped from 30% to 27%.
Young managers under 35 years dropped by 5 points and female managers by 7.
This is worrying because the low involvement of the manager affects the performance of the team. It hurts business results and even the country’s economy.
Meanwhile, the individual involvement of employees remained the same at 18%.
Companies also faced many problems such as job cuts, budget problems, digital changes and remote work and flexibility requirements.
A global survey of Gallup shows that only 33% of workers are satisfied with their lives from earlier years. The biggest decline is seen in managers, especially older and women. Their comfort fell by 5–7%.
On the other hand, ordinary employees showed a slight improvement. The report states that personal life also affects how people feel at work. Regions such as the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have seen large drops in the happiness of workers.
Gallup believes that if more workers are fully involved, global productivity can be increased by $ 9.6 trillion. Some companies already have 70% involvement by building good culture and using the practices of intelligent leadership.
What about India?
The worrying trends in the workplace are seen in South Asia, namely in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
According to Gallup, this region has the lowest percentage of employees who feel they are doing well. This means that very few workers feel happy, safe or happy with their lives and work.
It also has the highest percentage of employees who feel annoyed daily. This suggests growing frustration and emotional pressure in everyday working life.
The region is also high for everyday sadness among employees. Many workers are mentally fighting and emotionally low.
