A Threat to German Growth

Germany's economy, the largest in the European Union, has stalled. Various regional and global factors are contributing to the country's decline in economic confidence, but high among them is lack of employee engagement.

The vast majority of the German workforce is not engaged with its work. Though not a hot topic at last week's G-20 summit, this presents a serious threat to productivity -- and ultimately to Germany's gross domestic product.

Nearly one quarter of U.S. employees -- and 51% of actively disengaged workers -- would sack their managers if given the chance, according to the latest GMJ survey. Engaged employees, however, are far more charitable to their supervisors.

A recent Gallup study of the U.S. workforce reveals this simple yet powerful formula: strengths development + engagement = innovation. Learn more about this national study and how its findings can be applied to your company.
