DEATH BY DISENGAGEMENT: A COMPELLING CASE FOR ERADICATING THE SILENT KILLER IN YOUR WORKPLACE 51% not engaged, disconnected. 17.5% actively disengaged. More than two-thirds of the US workforce is not engaged. Many of these disengaged employees are within your company. They show up in time and turn the wheels in some way or another until five o’clock rolls around. On the surface, business is running smoothly, but internally, vitality is wilting. What is the remedy? Engagement. And it all starts with you and a change in your corporate culture. Disengagement is serious—in fact, it’s lethal to business and morale. And in The Crisis of Disengagement, Andrew J.
