Workers around the world are historically stressed, disengaged with their work, and increasingly fighting with their bosses, according to Gallup's State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report. The report examines how "employees feel about their work and their lives, an important predictor of organizational resilience and performance."
Survey results reveals that 59% of workers are not engaged, and 18% are actively disengaged, but still employed. And 23% said they are engaged, or thriving at work.
Asked what would make their jobs better, the majority of employees didn't address pay and benefits, but rather issues such as more autonomy, clear goals, and being recognized for their contributions.
More than half of all respondents — 51% — said they're actively looking for a new job; 53% told Gallup that it's a good time for search for a new job. That's 8% higher than last year.
