A recent Gallup Report (State of the Global Workplace 2024) found that top and bottom quartile business units and teams had a 23% difference in profitability. Gallup concluded: Although leaders may know their overall employee engagement numbers, employee engagement primarily happens at the team level — and there may be a wide gap between your best and worst engaged teams.
Leaders concerned about profitability should examine team engagement more closely. So, even in a company where overall scores are high there could be pockets of bad practice where employees need proactive intervention from the companies’ leaders.
