Gallup Reports Decade-low U.S. Employee Engagement

Only 31 percent of workers are currently engaged in their role

Employee engagement in the U.S. fell to the lowest level in a decade at the end of 2024, with only 31 percent of employees being engaged and 17 percent of employees being actively disengaged, according to a Jan. 14 report from Gallup. Levels this low were last seen in 2014.

Employee detachment is growing nationwide, particularly among workers under age 35 and those in finance, technology, transportation and professional services.

"In Gallup's trend dating back to 2000, employee engagement peaked in 2020, at 36 percent, following a decade of steady growth, but it has generally trended downward since then," wrote Jim Harter, Gallup's chief scientist for workplace management and well-being.
