According to Gallup, just 33% of American employees are engaged with their work...and only 15% worldwide. Meanwhile 51% are looking for a new job or watching for openings. To put it simply, we have a problem. While institutions of higher education often tout high rates of placement and or graduate school acceptance, the real statistic we MUST begin to address is workplace engagement. While some employers are jumping through hoops to give their employees every reason to love their job, the issue of job fit or congruence still remains arguably the key piece to the puzzle for whether employees wake up on Monday and look forward to heading to work. And yet, this problem that is costing the American economy well over $450 billion a year (Gallup 2013) is often missed by higher education institutions as career development offices are having their budgets decreased.It is my mission in life to play a part in tackling this problem, not only to increase human flourishing so that individuals, families, and communities can thrive, but that individuals can wake up on Monday with vigor and a desire to be producers and engage in their work.
