Key Takeaways
Employee engagement and productivity have become critical focal points in the modern business landscape. Despite this, many HR departments still rely on traditional methods to gauge engagement—methods that often provide a limited view of the real challenges employees face. This is particularly concerning when only 21% of employees worldwide are engaged at work, according to Gallup's "State of the Global Workplace" report. The cost of disengagement is staggering, with actively disengaged employees estimated to cost the U.S. economy between $450 billion to $550 billion per year in lost productivity.
While annual or quarterly surveys and basic statistical analysis have been the norm, these approaches may only scratch the surface, missing crucial insights that could drive meaningful change. The challenge is not just to measure engagement but to leverage advanced data techniques that can uncover deeper insights and lead to significant improvements in both engagement and productivity.

While this approach did provide some insights, it was not without its shortcomings.
The result? While engagement scores showed a modest improvement, deeper issues such as high turnover in key departments and underperformance persisted.
