One key metric when gathering data for Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report is our Q12 employee engagement survey. Gallup's Q12 meta-analysis finds that the powerful relationship between employee engagement and performance can be generalized across countries, industries, organizations and teams. With the average employee spending 13 straight years of their lifetime working – humans are spending more time working than any other activity besides sleeping. This makes it crucial for companies to actively engage their employees and address their most pressing needs. So how is life at work going for millions of people? And why should leaders care?

I love the work of Gallup. They shed a light on the practices that heighten the engagement and wellbeing of team members and the practices that don’t. Without exception, those organizations that honour their people, invest in their knowledge and provide opportunities to grow experience a more fulfilled and productive workplace, and bottom line.
The question is: why is work the activity behind sleep in terms of time spent doing it? We are literally living to work. If that’s the case, then leaders need to sincerely consider the environments they’re creating if they want people to flourish.
I can mention some strategies to foster engagement in workplace: - Communicate effectively - Provide growth opportunities - Recognize and reward achievements - Encourage work-life integrity - Foster a positive work culture - Empower employees - Solicit feedback
