In Denmark, only 21% of employees are engaged at work.*
Gallup’s research shows that focusing on workplace engagement can increase performance, productivity, and innovation. Engaged employees experience greater job satisfaction and are more loyal to their employer.
Engaged
Engaged employees are loyal and dedicated to their workplace. They are more productive and innovative, contributing significantly to the success and growth of the organization.
Not engaged
Non-engaged employees do their work and may be satisfied with their job, but they lack engagement, passion, and energy. If they receive a better job offer, there is a high likelihood that they will accept it.
Actively not engaged
Actively disengaged employees are constantly negative and are quick to share their negativity with others. This can have a significant impact on team morale and overall workplace culture.
