Where Workers
Are Most Miserable
Only about 13 percent of employees
worldwide are engaged at work
— emotionally invested in created
value for their companies —
which
makes the U.S. look pretty good with
30 percent engagement. Actively
disengaged workers around the world
outnumber their engaged colleagues
2:1, and the ratio is steeper in areas
with high unemployment and other
political and socioeconomic
disruptors. — Katy Hall
