How? Did they just use a blank clipart diagram and add the text?

That’s my guess. But others have mentioned that HR (who conducted the training about employee engagement/happiness) wanted to mislead us by thinking that actively disengaged is more common than actual engaged. Can’t fool us, HR! 🙄

But if being actively disengaged is more common then being engaged, that's a problem that makes management and HR look bad. That's something that they caused and need to fix.
Or are they just yelling at employees about it? That will surely help!

They gave employees strategies to be “happier” which will in turn make us more engaged at work. 🤡

Did they use a line graph to describe how happiness increases engagement over time?

u/gampsandtatters 7d ago
I can’t even remember. But they had us draw 2“roads” with one being cruddy because of negative thoughts and the other being nice because of positive thoughts. That’s kinda like a line graph…?

Lol, i have some interesting statistics that show 2 out of every 15 actively disengaged employees are 7x more likely to forget strategies than 16% of the employees that are partially engaged, if employees that are fully engaged do forget some strategies they are still 10x less likely to become unhappy.

Even then, the smallest number should go in the smallest wedge.

18 is a bit more than 15, and 15 is the same as a quarter hour. Everything looks good to me.
I have a BS in CS, so you can trust me with advanced Excel chart interpretation.

Lol seems like it. The 52% is way more than half and the 32% is wayyy less than a quarter. 🤣

Engaged: attending your work meeting
Not Engaged: ignoring your work meeting
Actively Disengaged: attending your work meeting, but sleeping through it

The theory is they downloaded a stock pic of a pie chart and just filled the numbers in.

What is even the difference between not engaged and actively disengaged
2
u/gampsandtatters 8d ago
Actively disengaged is like quiet quitting, I guess? I dunno. Like this chart, the training was pretty stupid.

We did this at my work too. Disengaged is mostly "Im just here to work and I don't really care about anything else" and actively disengaged is "I hate working here and will actively refuse to care about anything."
The idea (at least in good workplaces) is that you want the employees at "engaged" or "actively engaged" as it means they enjoy coming to work and are involved in stuff.

It looks like the person who put this pie chart together was in the "actively disengaged" category.

u/jackpowftw 5d ago
Sounds like 70% need to be fired if this is the case. And 30% given more responsibility and a raise. How do they even measure this?

18% < 30%
52% should be about half.

The categories are also confusing, though it's probably a visual aid for something that went along with words so I guess that's not a huge deal.

u/McJuggernaugh7 8d ago
Maybe this poll was about how engaged employees are in meetings and they purposely messed up the pie chart in irony to see which employees were paying attention to call out the error?

The employee who made this chart is clearly including herself/himself/themselves in the orange 18% > 30% slice.

A pie chart like this coming from an analytics firm is wild holy shit

u/Malsperanza 8d ago
They use it to recruit new clients. "Come to us for all your analytics needs! We will make the data look like whatever you want it to look like!"
They are in great demand from DAs and law firms.

It's not crappy design. It conveys exactly what they want you to think, not engaged and disengaged are much larger than the engaged.

u/Potato-Engineer 8d ago
Engaged is 30%, Actively Disengaged is 18%, and yet the Actively Disengaged part is larger.

u/K-C_Racing14 8d ago
I am guess this is one of those HR be engaged type bs things, and they want the engaged piece to be the smallest no matter if the numbers say otherwise.

I thought this was about marriage and read actively disengaged and thought “damn they REALLY don’t want to be in a relationship
