That means if you\u2019ve got a supportive, motivated leader, you\u2019re much more likely to feel the same way. And when companies get it right, the results speak for themselves. In organizations where managers are well-supported and actively involved, <\/span><b>about 75% of managers and 70% of their teams are engaged<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is a huge improvement over the global average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when managers are struggling, the whole team feels it. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/349484\/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> puts it simply: \u201c<\/span><b>If managers are disengaged, their teams are, too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. In 2024, <\/span><b>only 27% of managers worldwide said they felt engaged<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, down from 30% the year before. Some of the biggest drops were among younger and female managers, who may be facing added pressures without enough support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few other key things that can make or break employee engagement. To start with, <\/span><b>growth and development<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> really matter. When people feel stuck in their roles with no chance to learn or move forward, it\u2019s easy for them to lose motivation. On the contrary, when employees are given opportunities to grow, they\u2019re more likely to stay interested and involved.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Fair pay and work-life balance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also important. While money alone doesn\u2019t guarantee engagement, feeling underpaid or having poor benefits can definitely push people to disengage. According to Gallup, many disengaged employees said they\u2019d be more motivated if their company improved its culture, pay, and focus on well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Having a voice at work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another big one. People are more engaged when they can share ideas and feel like their input is valued. It\u2019s not just about being heard, it\u2019s about knowing your opinion counts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other key factors include things like <\/span><b>clear job expectations, feeling appreciated, trusting your leaders, and knowing your work has purpose<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When employees see how their role fits into the bigger picture and feel supported along the way, they\u2019re much more likely to stay engaged. But if expectations are unclear, if there\u2019s no room to make decisions, or if the workplace feels negative or toxic, engagement can quickly fall apart.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6544cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f6544cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-1024x752.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13842\" alt=\"Bullet point list titled &quot;Factors influencing employee engagement,&quot; including leadership, growth opportunities, fair pay, clear expectations, appreciation, purpose, and a positive work environment.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-1024x752.png 1024w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-768x564.png 768w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-1536x1128.png 1536w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-400x294.png 400w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement-700x514.png 700w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Factors-influencing-employee-engagement.png 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-707b1b0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"707b1b0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e58091\" data-id=\"5e58091\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5221313 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5221313\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the signs of employee disengagement?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72e2c70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72e2c70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can you tell if employees are disengaged?
