According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report, Europe has the lowest regional percentage of engaged employees. This crisis has serious impacts including higher employee turnover, lower wellbeing, and a fractured, less resilient company culture. Employee recognition has the power to reverse these effects, as part of a recognition programme tied to company values.
