Employee Engagement: Disengagement Hurts Employees

Disengagement is depressing. Disengagement not only has an impact on the organization and customers it has an impact on the employee.  Employees miss out on bringing their best to work and to their life and according to recent research from Gallup: People who are actively disengaged in their careers are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression over the next year.

Unused potential. Engagement is about personal and professional development

It’s not what you are: it’s what you don’t become that hurts.  ~ Oscar Levant
