Only 11 percent of employees worldwide are engaged in their jobs, according to Gallup. That’s an alarmingly low number and suggests profound problems for workplaces in almost every corner of the world. Low engagement results in lower productivity and profitability—and damages a company’s future prosperity.

Forward-thinking senior executives, leaders, and managers know that engaging employees is crucial to improving business performance. Gallup’s research shows that one significant, tangible way to boost engagement is to help employees know and apply their strengths at work. In fact, this increases and even accelerates engagement significantly. Gallup works with companies to accomplish just that, as one of the organization’s partners, Kelly Aylward, explains.
