Ninety per cent of employees in the UK are not actively engaged by their jobs, and we have the second highest level of workplace sadness in Europe. It’s bad for individuals and the economy, says Tony Wilson
Research on global work trends shows that Europe is at the bottom of the world charts for workplace motivation, having the highest numbers of “quiet quitters”. And out of the 38 European countries surveyed by Gallup, the UK is near the bottom of the pile at 33rd.
Haven’t heard of quiet quitting? It’s the concept of sticking in a job role while applying the bare minimum effort. Gallup describes it as a state of being “psychologically unattached” to your work. In other words, because worker’s engagement needs are not being fully met “they are putting time but not energy or passion into their work.”
According to the State of the Global Workplace, just ten percent of the UK workforce said they were actively engaged at work (defined by Gallup as “highly involved in and enthusiastic about their work” in a way that “moves the organisation forward”).
