The ADP’s Global Study of Engagement Technical Report evaluates the engagement levels of more than 19,000 employees worldwide and discovers how organizations can improve their talent attrition and retention.

Some main findings from this report include:

  • The global engagement rage is low at 15.9%. The UAE, India and Singapore have the highest engagement rate while China, the Netherlands and Mexico have the lowest rate. China experienced the most dramatic change with a 13%  decrease in engagement rate compared to the previous year.
  • Construction, Trade, Education and Real Estate have the highest fully engaged rate among all industries when Transportation and Warehousing has the lowest rate.
  • Employees with higher education level are more likely to have higher engagement rate. People who are working at higher positions in organizations are also more likely to be fully engaged compared to other staff members.
  • While 17% of people who are working on a team are fully engaged, only 8% of people who are not on a team are engaged completely to their job. A dynamic and cross-functional team seems to be the best working environment for fully engaged employees. On the other hand, teams that are static or disconnected from the organizational hierarchy recorded the lowest fully engagement rates.
  • Surprisingly, team employees who are working remotely are more engaged than employees who are working in an office.
  • Saudi Arabia, India and China have the highest rate of employees who are working within a team environment, however, China has the lowest rate of fully engaged team members among this group. Similarly, while the United Kingdom has the lowest rate of team membership, they recorded a high engagement rate of 18% among this group.
  • Employees who are working on more than one team seem to be more engaged compared to people who only belong to one team. Larger organizations are more likely to have employees interacting with more that one team.
  • Nearly half of employees who claimed they trust their managers are fully engaged.
