Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2025 paints a confronting picture:
-
Just 21% of global employees are engaged
-
Over 50% are actively or passively seeking other jobs
-
$438 billion is lost annually due to low engagement in the Asia-Pacific region alone
This isn’t a quiet disengagement — it’s a silent walkout. And it’s not just global. In Australia’s disability services sector:
-
Staff churn is three times higher than the national average
-
35% of new disability workers leave within 12 months
-
65% of providers say operating conditions are worsening
The message is clear: the workforce is not just tired — it’s trying to tell us something. And whether you’re in allied health, hospitality, or human services, you can’t afford to keep ignoring the data.
But there’s good news.
Data isn’t just a diagnosis. It’s a tool. And when used well, it’s a roadmap to better leadership, better cultures, and better performance.
Before you plan your next training day, team restructure or culture initiative, take five minutes to get clear on where your workforce is actually at.
