Disengaged employees have a staggering effect on business. Recent studies have shown that
lower productivity has an estimated economic impact of $300 billion per year, while increased
workplace injury, illness, turnover, absence and fraud have an economic impact estimated at
$1 trillion per year. This is felt around the world at a global level, but it also has very personal andimmediate effects on organizations, departments, teams and, as a result, individual employees.
