NEWS FLASH: Everybody does not hate Mondays!
A recent Gallup poll found that workers who are engaged feel almost as good on the weekdays as they do on the weekends! Plus, learning and interestingness peaks for these happy, engaged workers during the workweek. In turn, they are more likely to be productive.
The bad news? Only 30% of U.S. workers were engaged in the first part of 2012.

- Two-way communication between employees and management
- Trustworthy leaders
- Career development
- Employees’ understanding of their job and role
- Shared decision making
