Engagement has fallen, especially among managers, Gallup says
What This Article Covers
Manager engagement fell from 30% to 27%, with the sharpest drops among young managers and women managers. Only 44% of managers globally have received any formal management training.
PersonaScore's Take
You can't fix engagement with perks. You fix it with better managers — and better managers start with self-awareness. Personality data doesn't just help you hire the right people; it helps existing leaders understand how to lead them.
Why This Matters
Leadership effectiveness starts with self-awareness and extends through team understanding. The data is clear: managers drive 70% of employee engagement, yet most receive minimal development. When leaders understand their own work styles and those of their team members, they make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and build stronger cultures.
