Employee engagement is an ongoing goal. Disengaged employees cost the U.S. between $450 billion and $550 billion each year in lost productivity, according to Gallup. In order to remain successful, a company's engagement techniques and offerings must continue to evolve with its employees' needs and expectations. A large component of maintaining satisfied and engaged employees is understanding and acting on their needs. 1to1 Media, in partnership with SurveyMonkey, asked 511U.S. consumers in January 2015 about their motivations, productivity, and praise at work.
