  Hiring people who care and keeping them in that mindset is hard, especially at scale. 32.9% of U.S. employees "engaged" in workplace in February (2015) http://news.gallup.com/poll/181895/employee-engagement-reaches-three-year-high.aspx http://news.gallup.com/poll/181895/employee-engagement-reach... and from a 2014 report http://www.aon.com/attachments/human-capital-consulting/2014-trends-in-global-employee-engagement-report.pdf http://www.aon.com/attachments/human-capital-consulting/2014... There are signs that the employee value proposition is breaking down. Perceptions of internal brand alignment have decreased 4 percentage points in the last two years. More employees are saying positive things about their organization and striving to go above and beyond. Engagement overall has increased, but the global element signifying intent to “Stay” with their companies has shown no change. Employees are engaging more, but only a little over half see a long-term path with their current company and fewer see a compelling value proposition to keep their talents with the current company.
