Engagement among American workers is improving a bit. Still, more than half of workers who responded to a Gallup poll on engagement described themselves as essentially not fully engaged in their job.
Gallup got input from more than 80,000 U.S. working adults. Below are the results, with last year's in parentheses:
- Engaged: 31.5 percent (29.6 percent)
- Not engaged: 51 percent (51.5 percent)
- Actively disengaged: 17.5 percent (18.8 percent)
Gallup said the 31.5 percent is the highest level of engagement it's found since it began asking engagement questions in 2000. And, it noted, "The 1.9 percent increase in engagement from 2013 to 2014 represents 2.5 million employees nationwide."
