A recent study showed that disengaged employees can cost the US economy up to $605 billion in lost productivity by being late to work, missing shifts, and disrupting others with negativity.

Listen as Ashley Smith, who manages home care nurses, describes the importance of employee engagement, especially for those who work remotely.
