1. Disengagement79% disengaged. Checked out employees are gutting businesses. Gallup shows disengagement drains $8.9 trillion globally every year.
2. Burnout
66% burned out or close to it. Exhaustion turns into cynicism. Cynicism kills culture. And when culture dies, profit follows.
3. Turnover
51% job-hunting. Half your team is already looking for the exit. Each departure costs up to 200% of salary — and your best people leave first.
4. Profits That Don’t Match the Grind
Grind harder, get less. Longer hours. Endless meetings. More emails. Yet margins shrink. That’s the old model’s math.
Ignore the 4 Horsemen, and they’ll take your talent, your customers, your profit — and your sanity.
