Employee Engagement Manual for Tech Companies: A Guide to Boost Engagement in Tech

Employee engagement is at an all-time low.

According to Gallup, only 30% of U.S. employees report being engaged at work. And a staggering $8.9 trillion loss in global GDP can be attributed to disengagement.

This trend challenges software companies and the technology industry, where innovation and productivity are key drivers of success. Research shows that highly engaged teams lead to 23% higher profitability. So engaging software developers and IT professionals is a business imperative if you want them to work aligned, collaborate effectively, and innovate.
