TalenTrust and Optimize joined forces last year to conduct an analysis of varying opinions about the work environment, which we titled The Hybrid Gap. Our study found a great divide between the opinions of employers and employees about remote work. Since then, workers have settled into a new normal, with many returning to the office.
According to Gallup, employee engagement is in a major slump, with the number of engaged employees slipping to 30%. Dissatisfaction is particularly acute in remote and younger workers. Many employers are supporting employee desires to work remotely, and yet employees are still dissatisfied. In this white paper, we endeavor to unlock the secrets of why employees feel so disenfranchised.
