Via Business Insider:
…the most disengaged workers tend to be between 31 and 49 years old. They are also:
More highly educated (i.e. those with a post-graduate education).
Lower-level income employees earning less than $50K.
Newer employees, especially those in the organization less than a year.
Points:
- Take an interest in the workers.
- Make them proud to work for the company.
On the other hand, post-graduate degrees + low pay? Higher pay would be a better start.
