The 2013 Gallup poll, "State of the Global Workplace," reveals that only 13 percent of employees are engaged at work—a troublesome statistic for any company concerned about productivity. For people who support the premise that certain traits are inborn (nature) and are not subject to environmental variables (nurture), the prospect for increasing engagement as a key driver of business success is not very bright. On the other hand, when leaders and managers acknowledge that people are much more complex than the traditional nature vs. nurture debate suggests, they can adopt a more effective social model that can have a dramatic and positive impact on behavioral engagement in the workplace.
