Report Finds Employees Are Feeling Less Motivated at Work

In Q4 2017, a modest 19.7 percent of U.S. employees said they were willing to go "the extra mile"

Does it seem like some members of your staff are less willing to put in the extra mile at work? Hopefully that’s not the case; however, if it is, you’re not alone.

A new report from Gartner, which recently rebranded from CEB, finds that in the fourth quarter of 2017, a modest 19.7 percent of U.S. employees said they were willing to go above and beyond on the job. According to the Global Talent Monitor report, released last week, that’s a more than 3 percent decrease in discretionary effort from the prior quarter. (On the plus side, that percentage was significantly above the global percentage of 15.8 percent.)

The report, based on a quarterly survey of more than 22,000 employees in 40 countries, also found that workers globally are less likely to stick around in their current job (33.7 percent said they have a high level of intent to stay), though the U.S. has a higher percentage than other countries (44.1 percent, a small decline from the third quarter).
