Disengagement in the workplace is a costly issue, with a 2025 study from the American Journal of Preventive Medicine estimating it costs about $5 million annually for every 1,000 employees. This figure doesn’t even account for the harder-to-measure impacts, such as the loss of creativity and genuine enthusiasm among workers. In today’s rapidly changing work environment, driven by the rise of AI, maintaining employee engagement is more challenging than ever. While teams manage to meet their goals and avoid burnout, the deeper motivation and discretionary effort that come from truly caring about one’s work are becoming increasingly rare. Organizations must find ways to harness their teams’ intrinsic motivation to foster a more engaged and innovative workforce.
