Market Impact

The report from Gallup indicates a significant global economic cost due to low employee engagement, estimated at over $10 trillion in lost productivity in 2024. This suggests potential challenges for businesses worldwide, particularly in Europe where engagement is lowest, and in the United States and Canada where job market optimism and wellbeing are declining.

Event Summary

Gallup's 'State of the Global Workplace' report for 2025 reveals that global employee engagement declined for the second consecutive year, reaching 20%—its lowest level since 2020. This disengagement led to over $10 trillion in lost productivity globally in 2024, equivalent to 9% of global GDP. The decline is largely attributed to falling manager engagement, which has dropped by nine percentage points since 2022. Europe continues to have the lowest engagement globally at 12%, while the United States and Canada maintain the highest at 31%, despite experiencing sharp declines in job market optimism and employee wellbeing. Jon Clifton, CEO of Gallup, highlighted the overlooked role of managers in the AI era.
