Employee engagement is not doing great. It’s at a 10-year low, with only 31% of U.S. employees reporting they feel engaged at work, according to Gallup. Disengaged teams don’t drive innovation, collaboration, or results for organizations.
And benefits engagement, a critical pillar of employee engagement, is falling short too. A staggering 72% of HR pros rated engagement with benefits as either “low” or “average,” according to Amazing Workplaces. The gap means employees aren’t valuing the programs designed to support their wellbeing and performance. And, ultimately, that puts even more pressure on HR teams.
These employee engagement challenges can feel overwhelming, but actionable strategies exist for addressing these issues. That was the focus of our recent SHRM webinar, “Solving the Employee Engagement Crisis,” led by Alyssa Zeff and Cheryl Ross of bswift.

Why Benefits Engagement Matters
Employee engagement and benefits engagement are interconnected. If employees don’t understand their benefits—or don’t feel they’re relevant—it creates a missed opportunity to drive satisfaction and workplace loyalty. Tailoring benefits to your workforce’s specific needs and using effective internal communication to highlight their value is critical to building a thriving, engaged workforce.
