Gallup analyzed how employees feel about their work life, and proposed changes that could help grow the global gross domestic product (GDP).
A global survey of 122,000 participants was conducted from April 2022 to March 2023.
Key findings include:
1.) 59% of employees are not engaged in the workplace, also known as quiet quitting, and 18% are actively disengaged.
— Low engagement costs the global economy US$8 .8 trillion and accounts for 9% of global GDP.
2.) 85% of employees who are quiet quitting would want to change engagement or culture, pay and benefits, or wellbeing-work/life balance.
3.) 44% of employees reported experiencing a lot of stress the previous workday, continuing the trend from 2021.
— Those who were actively engaged were less likely to feel a lot of stress (30%) than those who were actively disengaged (56%).
4.) 51% of currently employed workers said they are actively seeking or watching for a new job.
