Jason Lauritsen

When we talk about employee engagement , one of the most commonly cited statistics comes from Gallup. I’m sure you’ve seen it: Only 1/3 of employees in the U.S. are engaged according to Gallup’s Q12 measure. That number is a more shocking 17% globally. That also means that somewhere between 66% and 83% of employees are either “not engaged”—or worse, “actively disengaged” based on Gallup’s methodology. It sounds pretty dire. But I don’t care what Gallup says. This is cited so much to create panic.

Being up early means a need for coffee and food somewhere along the way - especially on trips where I drive into the meeting in question. Enter Chick-fil-A. .

In the last ten years, however, thanks to high-profile, culture-focused companies like Zappos and Netflix, culture has become one of those things that keeps the CEOs up at night.
